The problem seems to be there are no reports. We as a committee and as individual members have looked for reports and we are not getting them. We are asking to be shown even one report showing decisions were made, not opinions. Services such as these cannot be taken out of an area based on opinion alone. There must have been decisions made by the HSE, a working group, or whatever it is called that went through a consultant's report, after which a decision was made. On whose opinion was this based? Was there a group telling you to come to the same opinion? Who overrode everyone else's opinion and decided to close St. Brigid's?
