Paudge Connolly (Cavan-Monaghan, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the recently commissioned HSE report entitled Improving Safety and Achieving Better Standards, known as the Teamwork report, and the report on the death of Mr. Pat Joe Walsh encompassing the proposed future delivery of hospital services in the former North Eastern Health Board and the implications for Monaghan General Hospital and the four other hospitals in the north-eastern region; the failure to consult the service users, hospital patient associations and service providers, hospital staff and GPs, and calls for an in-depth debate on those reports, which will significantly affect the quality of hospital service delivery in the north east for generations to come.
