I thank the Minister for his reply. I acknowledge that a great deal of progress has been made nationally. Unfortunately, however, there seems to be a significant number of hiccups in the health services in the mid-west. This is a very sensitive issue for the young woman to whom I referred, as it would be for any young person. I ask the Minister to request the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Alex White, to ensure that an official from the HSE contact this young woman to assure her she is at the top of the cancellation list and that the necessary arrangements will be made whereby she will be informed by telephone of any cancellation and can respond at short notice.
