Louise O'Reilly: There will have to be an increase in administrative work in the model proposed, given that one is dealing with service level agreement and a fee per item approach. Is this assumption correct on my part?

Louise O'Reilly: I am conscious that our guests have been here for a while so I will try to be brief. I am not brilliant at being brief but I will try. The point was made by Dr. Green that the staff do a fine job and they absolutely do. There is no question or doubt about that at all. The problem is there are not enough of them for everybody who needs to see them. The issue is not with the quality of the...

Louise O'Reilly: We know the planned moves to phase in a new model of routine care. Will our guests provide some detail on the level of emergency care that is provided? If there is not enough routine care happening now, there will be a shift to emergency care, although that is not what people want. What is the level of emergency care with respect to appointment numbers? How is this going to change when...

Louise O'Reilly: Excellent. I thank Dr. Kavanagh. I have two questions relating to specific areas. My first, unsurprisingly enough, relates to my own constituency of Dublin Fingal. Figures from replies to parliamentary questions show that of the 84,000 children who are on waiting lists, there are 4,450 in my own area who have been waiting longer than 52 weeks. That is the number of children currently...

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Dr. Green. Reference has been made to some staff shortages in certain areas across Dublin North, and in Balbriggan in particular. As it goes, not only do I represent a constituency with the fastest-growing population in the State, but Balbriggan is also the youngest town in Ireland. This is a fairly easily identifiable cohort, and one does not need to be a brain surgeon to figure...

Louise O'Reilly: It is one of those things people should talk about more. Before people start to build much-needed houses, they should talk about the services that need to follow.

Some 1,748 people have been on a waiting...
