Pauline O'Reilly (GP), Labour Panel

We appreciate the Minister of State coming here. It is an urgent issue. While we have heard this response before, there is a lack of clarity, otherwise we would not have had a two-hour-long meeting with the HSE and still not have got any further on Monday. It needs to be addressed. As the Minister of State said, the nearest facility is 80 km away. It is not acceptable for the people of Connemara to not have their district hospital operational.
