Vol. 438 No. 7
227 Mr. D. Ahern asked the Minister for Health if he has had an opportunity to fully examine the proposal by the North Eastern Health Board to extend Louth County Hospital, Dundalk, County Louth; if he will decide on its application; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
My Department has received outline proposals from the North Eastern Health Board in relation to the development of Louth County Hospital and will shortly be meeting the board to discuss these proposals in detail. This matter will then be considered by my Department in the context of the board's priority development requirements, the many competing requirements nationally and the overall resources available for these purposes.
