The objective of all concerned is to ensure that patients receive treatment. I do not know why the arrangement with Cappagh Hospital came to an end. If the Senator is unable to discover why that occurred, I will certainly assist him in trying to establish the facts. I reiterate that patients who were previously seen at Cappagh Hospital will now be seen at Waterford University Hospital in order to complete their episodes of care. Some of them have been already seen and any with appointments outstanding will be seen as soon as arrangements can be made. That is the commitment which has been made.

On the additional questions posed by the Senator, I am, as always, available to try to assist in any way. If he contacts me separately, I will try to obtain for him the information he is seeking.
