Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 24 November 2005
104 Mr. Morgan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the precise date in May 2005 when she or officials from her Department met with a private hospital group from Dundalk; and if an agreement was made at that meeting. [36097/05]
View answerI met the group proposing to develop a private hospital in Dundalk on 4 May 2005. No agreement was made at our meeting. In July I issued a policy direction to the board of the Health Service Executive in regard to private hospital developments that would free up new public beds. The HSE is now working on the implementation of this policy.
