I thank the Acting Chairman. Many of the issues facing UHL are also being faced by University Hospital Kerry, UHK. Almost a month ago we had senior HSE officials coming down to visit the hospital and meet stakeholders, yet there is still no plan. There is a dearth of feedback from the HSE about what is happening or what is going to be done to address the massive problems we have at UHK. Will the Minister please update the House on what is happening and what has resulted from those meetings? A month ago I signalled my concerns in the House that this would be yet another visit and yet another box-ticking exercise. I am starting to fear I was right, and that should not be the case.
