As I announced recently I have secured additional funding of €70 million to implement a number of initiatives to improve the delivery of emergency services. I am confident that these measures will have a significant impact on the delivery of accident and emergency services. Details regarding the implementation of these measures will be a matter for the incoming Health Service Executive to negotiate with the individual hospitals concerned. I will be replying directly to the recent letter from the Patients Together group very shortly.
