On the health Estimates to be taken later today, I understand the contract of the sole sarcoma cancer specialist in Ireland, based in St. Vincent's hospital, is not being renewed at the end of this month. That will have serious consequences for patients who rely on her expertise. Why is the Government allowing this? Perhaps the Tánaiste can make a statement on this now.

That sounds like a matter for the Topical Issue Debate.

The Deputy is referring to an individual contract. It would not be a good precedent to have a discussion on that. Of course, the Minister will be happy to discuss that issue with the Deputy. The decision is one that is being taken by a particular hospital. There will obviously be an opportunity to discuss these issues in the broadest sense during the debate on the health Estimates today.

That concludes the Order of Business. I thank everyone for their co-operation.
