In relation to the commitment in chapter 5 of the programme for Government to increase bed capacity in hospitals, I refer to Ms Lorraine Miller, a young mother who is fighting cancer and who has been in Letterkenny University Hospital for 13 days awaiting transfer to the oncology unit in St. James's Hospital. I give her details here in the Dáil today because her husband, Stephen, had to go on Highland Radio this morning, out of frustration and concern for her care, to raise the fact that she has been waiting 13 days for a transfer to the unit where she needs to be. Will the Taoiseach intervene to ensure this lady gets the treatment that she requires and gets an immediate transfer to St. James's?
