He should concentrate on the increases in numbers in the health service. He cannot and should not ignore that because to do so reduces his credibility. He is making good points on one level but he is also using language like "antique" and suggesting that everyone is feeling the hospitals when there are increases in the number of staff year after year. We have invested hugely in increasing the number of people. Close to 30,000 extra people have been employed in our health services over the past four or five years. That is additional people coming in.

With regard to the west, we had issues in Galway, where infrastructure and further investment are required. There is no question about that.
