Question 50: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if the recently established health fora are to be sidetracked by the Health Service Executive in the issuing of protocols, such as occurred recently in the executive's north-east region in respect of its removal of paediatric services from Louth, Navan and Monaghan general hospitals without prior consultation or discussion with the health forum; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
