Written answers
The Hanly report made specific recommendations regarding the future structure of acute hospital services in two regions, the East Coast Area Health Board and the Mid-Western Health Board. While the report set out a series of principles for the future structure of hospital services nationally, no specific recommendations are made for other regions. No specific recommendations are made for Cork University Hospital or Mallow General Hospital.
An acute hospitals review group has been appointed to prepare a national plan for the reorganisation of acute hospital services. I anticipate that the current and future role of Cork University and Mallow General hospitals will be examined in this context.
