On 29th June, 1967, I approved a proposal of Kerry County Council to purchase a site for the new county hospital at Tralee. A schedule of accommodation has been submitted by the health authority but I shall have to consider the planning of this hospital in the light of recommendations by the Consultative Council on the General Hospital Services on the hospital system generally.
