Brendan Smith (Cavan-Monaghan, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Deputy Kitt sends his apologies for his absence, as he had to chair the Dáil. He wanted to make a point and perhaps the Minister would reply to him in writing. The people of north west Donegal are sourcing some cancer and stroke services at University College Hospital Galway and there are particular pressures there. I presume the developments at Altnagelvin Area Hospital will provide some of the services that are sourced in Galway. Is there a plan on a North-South or east-west basis to provide additional stroke services for the people in the north west and down as far as Galway?
