Willie O'Dea (Limerick East, Fianna Fail)

The level one medical facilities include first aid, immediate life saving measures and triage. Three role two facilities will be available, in N'Djamena, Abeche and Birao in the Central African Republic. That will cover such matters as advanced life support, basic surgery, intensive care with limited patient holding capacity and primary health care. In addition, ancillary laboratory and radiology facilities, a dental unit and other hospital support elements with appropriate ground and air medevac capabilities will support this provision. I have discussed the issue of getting people to role two hospitals with the force commander and he has assured me all the necessary arrangements will be in place in that regard.
