I look forward to the necessary correction and recovery in the months and years ahead.

I wish to refer to Senator Mullen's comments on health. According to the Department of Health and Children's publication entitled Health in Ireland: Key Trends 2009", population growth and population ageing will have clear implications for service planning. Would it be possible to arrange a debate on this issue to ensure we have the appropriate services to meet the demands? I support Senator Mullen's call for appropriate stroke services. The report noted a major improvement in the health of the nation and its people's life expectancy, which is welcome.
