I thank the Chairman for the opportunity to contribute. We met Mr. Reid and others of the HSE's management on Monday. Has any decision been made by the HSE to close the ICU and high-dependency unit, HDU, beds at Our Lady's Hospital, Navan? Has any decision been made on closing the emergency department there? Is Mr. Reid conscious of the concerns of the people of Navan and Meath more widely due to mixed messaging from the Minister and the HSE? According to a briefing note we received on Monday, the final stages of stepping down will commence on 30 June. Is that still going ahead or is it on hold?
