This question relates to the mid-west region and University Hospital Limerick. I will start by recognising the loss of Aoife Johnston. I pass on my heartfelt condolences again to her family and her parents. Aoife was one of many patients who we know were failed in that hospital. As the Minister knows, her family are grieving. We have a real challenge and a real problem in UHL. What additional beds and capacity will be put in place in the mid-west and UHL to once and for all fix the problem for the people who live in the region?
