Written answers

Minister for Health

Mayo General Hospital have submitted one proposal to the Special Delivery Unit for additional funding. Along with others, the proposal is under consideration, and a decision is expected in the coming weeks. As this matter is under consideration I trust the Deputy will appreciate that I am not in a position to answer the specific questions raised by him at this time.
