Go raibh maith agat arís, a Theachta. I visited the hospital some time ago at the invitation of my colleague, the Minster for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Creed, who asked me to meet the staff and management. I was accompanied by HSE management and we gave the assurances that were required on the day. My office remains in regular contact with the management in Macroom Community Hospital and I understand managers often speak to my office. The Minister, Deputy Creed, asks me almost every fortnight for an update on the project.
