Waterford Health Authority have had under consideration the development of paediatric hospital services in their area. As I mentioned in reply to a question by the Deputy last week, joint discussions on the development of the hospital services in Waterford are being undertaken by the authorities concerned. I hope that, at an early stage, recommendations will emerge about the development of paediatrics which I consider is a high priority.
