Thomas Gould: Good morning. I want to start by laying out the background to the issue relating to SouthDoc in Blackpool. As my constituency colleague, the Minister of State must be well aware of this matter. In 2020, the close of SouthDoc in Blackpool was announced on foot of the Covid-19 crisis. At the time, I raised concerns. Those concerns proved to be well founded when SouthDoc clearly stated that...

Thomas Gould: I do not want to be disrespectful, but if the Minister for Health does not understand what is happening in the HSE in the context of SouthDoc in Blackpool, that is shocking. Some €7 million was paid to SouthDoc to provide an out-of-hours service, which it is not doing. If the Minister of State looks at my Facebook page, he will see the number of constituents by whom I have...

Johnny Guirke: I thank the Minister of State. In some cases the ratio is 30:1. I believe that is the ratio in Kilbride National School. Although the Minister of State has said she will look at it in the appeal, I was hoping she would give a commitment tonight to reverse the decision on SET hours in Kilbride. One third of schools have had their SET resources cut. However, prior to these cuts the vast...
