Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

In the first instance, we stand ready to support HSE South and the HSE more generally in respect of any plans that emanate from the region. The HSE at national level has taken an interest in what is happening in the south region in terms of structures and so on. The capacity issue also needs to be enhanced. We need proposals as well from the hospital and the hospital group in terms of initiatives that can be funded at central level and will be funded.
