I thank the Member for her question. It was a sad indictment of society when we saw that unrest affect care delivery. I remember listening to the former Health Minister talk about an experience that was relayed to him, and it was one of deep regret.
I know, however, that the Department has been constructively engaging in that space to identify everything that slipped and to work with the trust to ensure that the patients who need care the earliest are given the opportunity to get it. If the Member has details of anybody who has slipped through that net, I will make my private office available, and we will pick up on that.
