I will continue the last point I mentioned about clinicians who have been involved in the 209 cases which led to this scandal. Has there been contact with all of those? What are the Minister's plans for mandatory reporting and the patient office? Does he intend to set that up as an independent agency? The Minister got a €685 million increase in the 2018 health budget. What kind of additional funding does he anticipate for 2019 to address some of the terrible issues that have come forward in this cervical smear check scandal?
