I propose to take Questions Nos. 827 to 829, inclusive, 834 to 836, inclusive, 838 and 839 together.
It is proposed that a national review of cardiology services will be undertaken this year. This review will seek to ensure that as many patients as possible have access, on a 24/7 basis, to safe and sustainable emergency interventions following a heart attack. I expect the review to be completed before the end of the year.
As the review is still in a formative stage neither the Terms of Reference nor the methodology have yet been determined. However I expect that the views of relevant stakeholders will be sought and considered in the context of the review.
