If Senator Craughwell moves house, he will not be driving the car himself either. There are 45 recommendations in the report on national trauma centres. There is a need to recognise that the status quocannot remain. The HSE has been given approval to advertise for a national clinical lead for trauma centres. The aim of the report is to have high-quality trauma services and the priority is to see a reduction in deaths and disabilities. I would be happy to have a debate with the Minister on this in the House. I am not accusing Senator Craughwell but the use of language in presenting the issue is important.

Senator Leyden has spoken articulately in the House before on the issue of Brexit. There will be a built-in review of Brexit in 2022 as part of the national development plan. I welcome this important development.
