The Senator will have to listen, this is a two-way process. The commitment I want to give to the House, to the Senator and others who are concerned about this, is that my top priority is the residents of the Rosalie unit. It will not be a politician that will dictate the future of that unit or these people, or any HSE management, it will be dictated by clinical best guidance and what is in the best interests of these patients and the residents of the Rosalie unit. That is what I will be guided by, not politics or HSE management. I will take the best clinical advice and ensure their rights are protected and upheld.
