In terms of this opportunity, by which I mean we are building now anew and fresh, we should examine how we deal with the future needs of the hospital in Wexford. That is my view. Obviously, the Cabinet will discuss this. There are opportunities. Also, it is an emergency. We have to look at the planning situation and see what we can do to expedite the return of permanent facilities here.

In the interim, we have to allow the HSE do the assessment. Following that assessment, it can plan out the programme of interventions.
