Billy Kelleher (Cork North Central, Fianna Fail)

I urge the Minister to reconsider this matter in the context of his statement that he is ultimately responsible for the health services. This is an attack on the heart of the community in County Laois. Patients and families continually say these facilities are providing excellent care. With a small capital investment these facilities could remain open and provide care for those most in need in their immediate vicinity and community.
