Considerable progress has been made in relation to the implementation of the recommendations of the Working Party on the organisation of general hospital services in the South-East Dublin and East Wicklow area. For instance planning is proceeding on the development of both St. Vincent's and St. Michael's Hospitals as recommended. I have made provision in my Department's capital programme for the construction of new theatres, out-patient department and upgrading of the accident and emergency department at St. Columcille's, Loughlinstown Hospital and the consultant medical staffing of that hospital has now been placed on a firm footing with recent appointments in surgery, medicine, radiology and anaesthetics.
