I also want to raise the issue of the delivery of beds, having regard to University Hospital Limerick. As the Minister knows, the hospital’s accident and emergency department has broken its overcrowding records twice this year already, despite our not being in the thick of the winter yet. I am wondering whether the Minister can confirm whether we are on track to deliver the first 96-bed block.

I attended a briefing with officials from UL Hospitals Group recently and they explained the position on the second 96-bed block. Could we get confirmation on the construction and delivery of that block also today?
