I very much welcome the confirmation that the project has been approved by the HSE board. There is great goodwill here. Sometimes we need to just keep pushing it through the bureaucracy. There is no better man than the Minister to do that. It affects people in my constituency but it is a national resource. There is great energy and effort here and it will go a long way to meeting the needs of patients, many of whom have been waiting too long, and which the Government is doing everything it can to address.
