Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I do not know whether Deputy Kenny has spoken to the HSE regionally or the save-the-hospital group in terms of what their plans are for the recruitment of the cardiologist and the cath lab. That is the level at which these decisions are being taken. Significant resources were made available by the Minister for Health in the budget. The amount involved is €4 billion in total: €2 billion to cover Covid-19; and €2 billion for additional services on top of the current services. There are substantial resources available. Operationally, it is clearly a matter for the HSE to get those issues sorted.
