I propose to take Questions Nos. 221 and 225 together.
I am committed to developing Ennis General Hospital as part of the acute hospital services in the MWHB region. A briefing document has been prepared by the project team which I established. It sets out the broad scope of the future development of the hospital to be considered in the preparation of a development control plan. The board identified the following areas as priority areas for development on completion of the plan: ward upgrade; accident and emergency; radiology; outpatients; and general infrastructure upgrade.
The board endorsed the briefing document and requested approval to formally appoint the selected design team to prepare the DCP.
