As regards the idea that the Taoiseach of the day is being asked to tell a hospital to go and apply for planning permission, there is something wrong there. I do not know what the issue is. I take the Deputy's point, though. Speaking more broadly, we want to provide additional services and, in particular, to improve cancer services. The Deputy is aware, in the context of the radiation oncology programme, that a €56 million project is currently under construction at University Hospital Galway, UHG, and not before its time. That is happening.
