Denis Naughten (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister for her commitment on these two specific issues. I ask the Minister to assure the House about rumours in Roscommon to the effect that the hospital will be removed from the 24-7 on-call service. In light of the lack of an out of hours GP service, the grossly inadequate ambulance service and the fact that the HSE has publicly committed to addressing both of those issues before considering a reduction in services, can the Minister give a commitment that it will happen?
