I will bring the Deputy's concerns to the Minister but I have an update for her. A meeting was scheduled to take place this afternoon in Belmullet district hospital between personnel from HSE estates, the chief officer of community healthcare west and the head of services for older people services in order to review the infrastructural deficits within the district hospital and to assess and quantify the levels of work required to address these structural deficits. An action plan has been developed locally to address the issues identified at the district hospital in the HIQA report other than the infrastructural issues.

The Deputy makes a very good case. I will take it back to the Minister and I will examine it myself.
