The administration of Caherciveen District Hospital is a matter for the Southern Health Board. I understand from the board that as part of a general review of its budgetary situation the board intended to close a number of beds at the hospital. However, a decision to close these beds has been deferred until after the next meeting of the Southern Health Board which is scheduled for Monday, 15 July 1985.
