Vol. 571 No. 4

Written Answers. - Health Service Reform.

Paul Connaughton

Ceist:

427 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Health and Children when the Hanley report will be published, if hospitals such as the Portiuncula Hospital, Ballinasloe, County Galway, are likely to lose or have severely downgraded their maternity and accident and emergency departments, if the report places a barrier on the future development of a hospital such as this, and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22242/03]

The report of the National Task Force on Medical Staffing will be published shortly. The report does not make any specific recommendations on the hospital referred to by the Deputy, nor will its recommendations lead to a downgrading of any hospital.
