It does not look like a clinical decision. The research on which the HSE has based its plan for the six clinics is very old research from the end of 2020, which is before there was an understanding or an appreciation of the neurological impacts. It is old research and the most up to date research in this country was done in the Mater. The decision to close seems to have been done on the basis of having one clinic for each of the hospital groups rather than where the greatest expertise exists. Will the Minister give us an undertaking that he will look at the matter again this week?
