Mary Harney: I congratulate Deputy Howlin on his election to the Office of Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I have no doubt he will be an outstanding Leas-Cheann Comhairle and that he may be tempted from time to time to intervene inappropriately, given that he is a man with strong opinions on many subjects, including health. There have been a number of important developments in regard to the new national...

Mary Harney: Professor Drumm informed me that that recommendation had been made. I acquired the information from the HSE. I believed it was important that it be put into the public domain as quickly as possible given the confusion caused by the misrepresentation of what was happening in this area. It was always the case, as the Deputy will be aware, that in addition to a national children's hospital,...

It is a hospital for the entire country. Between 40% and 45% of the patients will come from outside the Dublin area. This is the model of care that operates in the best children's hospitals in the world, such as those in...

Mary Harney: If people have suspected meningitis they should be in that kind of centre. They should be in the primary centre. If the Government believes, with the support of the Health Service Executive, that we should have a single paediatric hospital for very sick children it is appropriate that we go ahead with that. Among the people urging me to proceed was the chairman designate, who was keen to...

Mary Harney: The Health Service Executive has informed my Department that the number of patients receiving dialysis treatment at the Limerick Regional Hospital has increased by approximately 20% in the last two years.

There are five patients from the region who cannot be facilitated there, which is why the HSE has gone to tender. The Tullamore unit is still in operation because the move to the new hospital does not take place until later this month. I hope the HSE will be in...
