Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent)

I welcome the designation of Beaumont Hospital as one of the centres of excellence. When is it envisaged that the developed services in Beaumont Hospital will become available? Will they commence in early 2008 or at a later date?

I welcome the appointment of Professor Keane and ask the Minister to encourage all her ministerial colleagues to support his efforts to reform the health service. When is it envisaged that we will see the impact of the reforms he will roll out?
