The roll-out of 24-7 cardiac cover at University Hospital Waterford was promised in the programme for Government, subject to a favourable independent review. As we all know, this review has taken place. The consultants in Waterford and the south-east have grave concerns in relation to the review. I call again on the Minister for Health to meet the consultants.

The Deputy's request for a meeting is probably not quite a matter for the Order of Business. I have made my intentions very clear in relation to this matter. I have published in full Professor Niall Herity's report, which examined the need for a second catheterisation lab in University Hospital Waterford. Professor Herity, who is an external consultant working for the NHS and who specialises in this area, found that there is no need for such a lab. However, he noted a number of deficiencies that need to be addressed in the hospital and a number of investments that need to be made by this Government. As the Deputy knows, my intention is to move ahead with making those important investments and increasing the staff, the equipment and the opening hours of the existing catheterisation lab in Waterford. As I have said, we can look at and review the impact of those improvements on volumes next year. That remains my commitment. I hope to visit the hospital shortly. I am sure I will have an opportunity to talk to staff at that stage.
