My Department is working with the HSE to ensure the most effective response to the winter challenges to unscheduled care provision and I expect to be in a position to outline the details of the Winter Plan 2018/19 very shortly.

In relation to the particular query raised, as this is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly.
