Yes, I will. Obviously, the winter initiative funding that was announced today is an additional €600 million, with €200 million on top of existing resources to the end of this year and €400 million for the early part of 2021. That is available now to deal with both with the human resources requirements for the hospital system, particularly on the emergency side, and also other measures to reduce pressures on emergency departments. I will bring the Deputy’s points to the attention of the Minister later today.
