Ceist:295 Mr. Carey asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the female medical ward in Ennis General Hospital has been closed for the month of September contrary to the guaranteed timetable which the senior executives of the Mid-Western Health Board outlined to him on two occasions of his visit in August 1992; and if he will confirm that he has agreed to its continued closure despite the hardship and distress being caused to patients in County Clare who were moved to Limerick Regional Hospital or have had to share multi-sex facilities.
