I thank the Member for his interest in the area. I have visited the rapid diagnostic centre in Dungannon. It is a first-class service. I was assured that, if you present with one of those vague symptoms, you will be checked in, you will be assessed, you will have your scan and, within two hours, you will get your result — hopefully, one that is pleasing and agreeable to you. I have no particular plans to expand the service, because, as I have already said, although Members are standing up, telling me to, "Do more here, do more there, expand this, introduce that" — where is the money? Show me the money, and I will do it.
