I presume the Deputy is referring to a series of inspections being undertaken by officials of the Health and Safety Authority to address occupational health and safety concerns in emergency medicine departments of acute hospitals. The authority recently announced that it would launch a programme of inspections this week and that it hoped to inspect 11 emergency departments by 8 April 2005. It is entirely a matter for the authority to determine which emergency departments it intends to inspect.
