The South-Eastern Health Board have the question of the provision of geriatric inpatient accommodation in their area under consideration, including the position in Lismore.
I understand that the board will shortly be considering a report in the matter. I will carefully consider any proposals which I receive from the board regarding Lismore Hospital following their examination of the position but I should point out that the report prepared for the board did not favour the addition of extra beds or extra staff in Lismore.
