Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

I met the ICTU on Monday, 12 May 2003 to discuss issues relating to the provision of hospital services, particularly in the eastern region. The Secretary General of my Department had a further meeting with the ICTU on Friday, 30 May and I hope to meet the ICTU again in the near future to review the position on the matters raised.
