Stephen Donnelly (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I can do so. The main questions in that section were raised by Deputy Feighan and I acknowledge the offers of support from the various Deputies. We are in this together, we need to fix it together and I look forward to working with everybody on it. As we have Deputies living all over the country, that local intelligence will be important, be it on local primary care centres, hospitals, cardiac units or ambulance services. Having that information feeding into the Government from all over the country is an essential part of one of the many roles the Oireachtas can play in making sure every part of the country is heard.

I acknowledge the invite to the hospitals from Deputy Feighan and will take him up on that. I will get the Deputy a detailed briefing on the hospitals in the north west and provide him with an answer on when the national cardiac review will be published. If the Deputy would like to meet me and the officials, or both, for more detail afterwards, we will set that up quickly.
