David Cullinane (Waterford, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I understand there was a meeting of Oireachtas Members from the region this week and that a paper was presented by the HSE with clear timeframes. The Minister says there are no such timeframes and he has not signed off on any. There are comments from Ministers that they are not satisfied with responses from the HSE. The public watching on and concerned people in Navan will see that the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing or that, at the very least, there is tension between what the Government and politicians are saying on one hand, and what the HSE is saying on the other. That needs to be clarified. There needs to be a joined-up response to this. I have my own views of what should happen at Navan hospital, but all of that uncertainty is causing real concerns.
