Stephen Donnelly (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Okay, but if we are being told in open session by named individuals whom we can hold to account that changes need to be made to the healthcare system, be that investment in the National Ambulance Service, in mental health services, in minor injury units or in more care, to protect the lives of the people we represent, then what do we do? This is a really important issue for Navan hospital and the communities. I am proposing that we all get together with the doctors, who have to put their names and reputations out there, and put the questions to them directly and to inform them of what we have been advised. We need to listen carefully to them and then, as elected representatives, we need to have a conversation around what is the best thing to do for the people of Navan.
