I am saying that I am advised that there are no specific plans at present because the appraisal process has not concluded yet. We have not made a commitment in advance of that appraisal being finalised. That is the context in which the Department of Health will make further commitments for Galway. I hear the points the Deputy has made and they are not unreasonable. There are successful minor injuries units in other parts of the country that take pressure off accident and emergency departments. The appraisal process will conclude in the next couple of months and we need to factor in that thinking when considering future investment in Galway.
