229 Mr. Connolly asked the Minister for Health and Children if he envisages the continuation of a full accident and emergency service in Monaghan General Hospital in future years. [14914/02]
The Deputy will be aware that the North-Eastern Health Board is responsible for the development and delivery of hospital services, including accident and emergency services, in its functional area. My Department has therefore, asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate the position in relation to the development of the accident and emergency service referred to by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
