80 Mrs. Geoghegan-Quinn asked the Minister for Health his views on a twinning arrangement between Letterkenny/Altnagelvin and Sligo/Erne hospitals for the provision of a better and more efficient health service. [7322/95]
Limerick East): The question of a twinning arrangement has not been considered to date but the North Western Health Board is currently involved in discussions with the Western Health and Social Services Board in relation to areas where, through cross-Border co-operation it could be made possible for patients to avail of acute hospital services in the nearest hospital to them. Discussions on this matter are at a very preliminary stage.
