I thank Deputy Tully. This may be an issue arising specifically with her community healthcare organisation region within the HSE. I am not familiar with the details of it. I know that the HSE contract is being looked at. If Deputy Tully wants to send the details to me I will get them to the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly. The HSE is responsible for its own procurement in that regard. The Deputy says there are issues with service provision, in particular of wheelchairs. A wait of eight to nine months for wheelchairs does not seem to be an acceptable level of service at all, to be very frank with the Deputy. If she wants to send me over the details, I will make sure the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, gets them and can respond directly to her.
