I move amendment No. 1:

To insert the following after "replace paper-based health records without further delay": "further calls on the Government to accelerate the development of elective hospitals in Cork, Dublin and Galway; make provision for salaried GPs to strengthen out of hours services; and complete and publish the Regional Health Areas Implementation Plan".

I want to talk about what I regard as an important further call on the Government to accelerate the development of elective hospitals in Cork, Dublin and Galway, to make provision for salaried GPs in order to strengthen our out-of-hours services and to complete and publish the regional health areas implementation plan. These are three major areas that are now long overdue and I am calling for them to be accelerated.
