I ask for an update on the national review of specialist cardiac services. The Taoiseach will be well aware that this matter is very much to the fore of the minds of all Deputies from the south east. We were to have a review of cardiac services in the south east commencing last August. This has now been subsumed into the national review. There is growing and real concern in the south east on the timeframe for this and what immediate action can be taken to ensure there are adequate and appropriate cardiac services, including 24-7 access to primary percutaneous coronary intervention, PPCI, in the region.
