The future role of Ennis General Hospital is a matter in the first instance for the Mid-Western Health Board. Earlier this year the board carried out a detailed review of hospital services for the Clare area and decided that Ennis Hospital should continue to provide acute medical and surgical services for its present catchment population. I am not aware of any proposal by the board to change the situation.
