419. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Health the number of meetings attended by him on the subject of Navan Hospital; the date of such meetings; the title and role of those attending the meetings; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33350/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have had a number of discussions regarding Our Lady’s Hospital Navan in recent weeks. Recently, these include a meeting with consultants based in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda on 9 June where concern about the potential impact of the reconfiguration of Our Lady’s Hospital Navan on Our Lady of Lourdes, Drogheda was expressed.
On 13 June, I invited local representatives to a briefing by HSE operational and clinical leads. At this meeting, the HSE described the patient safety rationale for the proposed change to a Model 2 hospital and several important issues were discussed.
I will ask my diary team to revert to the Deputy’s office directly regarding details and attendees of other meetings held.
