Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

I see no reason it should not also happen at night. There is a major lack of trust about what the Minister plans to do. I would like to quote from the report:

The overriding principle will be that no services will be withdrawn from the current general hospitals prior to the build-up of new, alternative services, i.e. that the Regional Hospital will be resourced, developed and working to recognised to international, best-practice standards.

Will the Minister stand over that? From what she has said already tonight she will not because she has already told us those services will not be in place when she removes the services in Ennis and Nenagh.
