Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

When will the report of the expert group on the establishment of acute hospital groups chaired by Professor John Higgins be published? The Taoiseach may be aware that there is a great deal of ráfla or rumour about this issue and fear in the south east about the downgrading of Waterford Regional Hospital. The master of the Rotunda Hospital has also raised concerns that patient safety may be compromised. The quicker the speculation is ended and we are able to read the report, the better for everyone. When will the report be published? Has it been discussed by the Cabinet? When will it be debated in the House?
