Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Neurological Health Issues: Discussion

6:15 pm

Dr. Colin Doherty:

That is right. The point is that I can take responsibility - I am not just throwing myself on my sword - but I am not accountable. The accountability lies at the local level. This is an ongoing process. The book on it has not closed. The latest we have from Cork University Hospital is a promise to open the unit on 31 March this year. I will hold it to that as best I can.
