Ceist:

441. Deputy John Halligan asked the Minister for Health his views on whether it is right and just that the risk rating regarding the second catheterisation laboratory in University Hospital Waterford could have been adjusted by the hospital group located in Cork University Hospital without any consultation with or notification to University Hospital Waterford; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
