Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I am glad that the matter relating to the Mid-Western Regional Hospital in Limerick was resolved, not through confrontation but by the parties discussing the matter of the need to change rotas. I am extremely happy that the matter was resolved after it had been brought to the attention of the public and those involved in the political process.

The third issue to which the Deputy referred relates to the level of detail made available to the Cabinet sub-committee. It receives whatever level of detail is necessary. It all depends on the questions being asked. Personnel from the Department and the HSE can be required to attend meetings of the sub-committee in order that the detail requested in the context of a particular question can be provided.
