I fully agree, which is why we put such a focus in women's health services on the gynaecological waiting lists and rolling out this new national network of the see-and-treat gynaecology clinics. The clinics that are fully up and running are having it really important effect on the long waiting lists, as the Deputy mentioned, in hospitals such as the Rotunda, Letterkenny and many others around the country. I can confirm that the budget contains new development funding gynaecological services through the waiting list action plan. The three high priority services contained within that are gynaecology, paediatric orthopaedics and bariatrics obesity. There will be ongoing roll-out for exactly the reasons the Deputy articulated.
