Denis Naughten (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss a matter of urgent importance, namely, following a meeting yesterday between HSE senior management, the Taoiseach, the Tánaiste and the Minister for Health and Children, at which the future of Roscommon County Hospital was discussed, there is now an urgent need for the Government to clarify its position on the downgrading plans for the hospital and state categorically if it has reversed its policy of the closure of small hospitals.
