Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Quarterly Meeting on Health Issues: Discussion
Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I am referring specifically to the ones who are not established. It is not known to patients. I share the concerns expressed by Mr. Justice Kelly in that regard.
I have three more questions. When will the clinical lead for abortion services be appointed? I have a question on the Rosalie unit in Castlerea. I am in touch with somebody in the constituency and she has raised the matter again with me again. There has been some discussion on converting the building into accommodation for adolescents. Could I have an update on that? I advise the Minister that nine people were transferred from the Rosalie unit, much against the wishes of the community. Three of them are now deceased. It is a matter of great upset that it is just not known what is happening.
My final question is on a constituency-related matter. A private company has put up a planning permission notice of its intention to build a private hospital in Swords. The Minister might outline the extent of State involvement in that enterprise.
