Pat the Cope Gallagher
Ceist:395. Deputy Pat The Cope Gallagher asked the Minister for Health the basis for a decision by his Department (details supplied); the reason for delaying a decision until 2021 in the context of the decision already taken by his predecessor in January 2016 to downgrade the hospital; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that this will lead to an urgent need to invest in the hospital in the interim in order to maintain standards required by HIQA; the reason there is such a delay in deciding on the matter; the interim plans he has for the hospital in the intervening four years; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
