I will bring the issues raised back to the Minister and will raise the Deputy's points very effectively. The Government has put additional funding into the emergency services this year. The emergency department at Navan hospital has been refurbished and €750,000 was provided for the replacement of various equipment. There has been an increase in day surgical activity. I am informed that, "The HSE has advised that there are no immediate plans to change the current emergency service configuration of services at Navan". That is what I have been told, but I will bring Deputy Tóibín's concerns back to the Minister and also the specific questions he asked about meetings. I am not aware of the meetings he mentioned.
