Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health

Mr. Damien McCallion:

I know the team down there and the new chief officer coming in. One of her priorities is to make sure that we expedite as quickly as we can getting the staffing to get that in place because, as the Deputy said, the construction is being completed. They are absolutely focused on trying to get those places open for the simple reason that it will support the hospital but also to support the communities. I can come back to the Deputy with dates on those.
