Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the crisis in hospital services in the north-east region in the wake of the Teamwork report and the report into the death of Mr. Pat Joe Walsh and the resulting decisions of the HSE to cut vital services at Monaghan General Hospital thus placing further pressure on hard-pressed accident and emergency and other services at Cavan General Hospital and the Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, and the need for the Government to reject the unacceptable recommendations of the Teamwork report which have met with widespread opposition throughout the region.
