Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

——in Beaumont as part of this year's plan. We are providing acute medical units in Tallaght, Beaumont and St. Vincent's Hospitals. This will mean that people who go to hospital with problems and medical conditions such as respiratory illness or diabetes can be assessed and observed without waiting for long periods in accident and emergency units. Other hospitals around the country have found that these units work well. Comhairle na nOspidéal has also pointed this out.
