Séamus Healy (Tipperary South, Workers and Unemployed Action Group)

I congratulate the Minister on his appointment and wish him well.

Will the Minister confirm that the hospital reconfiguration programme is parked and that an instruction to this effect has been accepted by the HSE officials? I was disappointed that the Minister did not set out in his reply the detail of the process. When does he envisage that the review process will commence? How will it be carried out and by whom? Will all stakeholders be involved?
