Seán Sherlock (Cork East, Labour)

Earlier, I asked whether it is the Minister's intention to close Mallow General Hospital. I would like a clear "Yes" or "No" answer. I understand the Minister replied by stating it would be subject to revised service plans. In the event that the subject plan does not adhere to standards laid down by the Department, what does she envisage for the future of the hospital? We need clarity on this once and for all.
