Mr. Canavan might have the answer to a separate question. A number of my colleagues in Sligo were in contact with me recently about the pain management service in Sligo that has apparently ceased operating. Councillor Thomas Healy was one of those who was in contact with me. I know local representatives have been raising this with Mr. Canavan. I know, from my experience in the south east, that pain management delays and a lack of options or capacity for pain management can cause problems because pain management is very important for people who might be waiting for treatment or are post-treatment. What happened in Sligo? What led to the closure of pain management services or is that what has happened? Mr. Canavan might provide clarity.
