Ceist:119 Mr. Bell asked the Minister for Health and Children if his attention has been drawn to concerns expressed by the Accident and Emergency Consultants Association (details supplied) that a catastrophic implosion was looming in the health service this summer due to the fact a severe shortage of junior doctors threatens to close some casualty departments; the steps, if any, he is taking to avert such a catastrophe; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
