Joe McHugh (Donegal North East, Fine Gael)

In the light of the commitment to establish Letterkenny as an outreach unit of the centre in Galway; the Minister's statement that she is examining, with Mr. Michael McGimpsey, the possibility of a radiotherapy unit being established in Derry and the fact that she met private developers recently regarding a proposal for a private hospital, what commitment can she give to the people of County Donegal that the services at Letterkenny General Hospital will not be downgraded? These three units will be based within a 20 mile radius of Letterkenny. Is the proposed accident and emergency unit for Letterkenny General Hospital still part of the Minister's plan?
