Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

It is a well-worn tactic to interrupt me every time I respond. There was very significant investment in Gurranabraher in primary care and enhanced community care. We have to be very careful that we do not lose out on the huge momentum that is being built up in terms of community and enhanced care and primary care because that ultimately helps to keep patients out of emergency departments. Many patients can be treated through these services in a much more effective way, working in an integrated way with the hospitals and with tertiary care. There is no question about that in terms of outpatient care and various treatments that can be done and in chronic illness.
