I have caused a reply to be sent to the Southern Health Board about the proposals which they put forward. I should prefer not to go into the matter further here, at least until the board have had an opportunity to consider the views I have put to them.
Would the Minister now say whether he agrees or not with the decision made by the Southern Health Board?
The Deputy will be able to hear the discussion at the Southern Health Board about what I said. I have not said anything sensational.
