I thank the Minister for his reply and for confirming that the group exists. Although I am sure that he intends to take heed of the advice of the clinicians involved, I caution him that heavy pressure will be brought to locate the cardiology laboratory in the northern end of the catchment at Letterkenny General Hospital. While I do not wish to disenfranchise the people of County Donegal, the reality is that it is 20 miles from Derry. I would hate to see us making the same mistake that we made on cancer care. I ask the Minister to use his good offices to impress that on the group.
