Adjournment Matters. - Hospital Services.

 

The North Eastern Health Board completed its review on 16 December 2002. The report and its findings are currently being evaluated by the review panel. The Minister shares the Senator's concern that this review process be brought to a conclusion as quickly as possible. The Senator will understand that the Minister does not wish to dictate to the panel or take from it the power it must exercise to make findings in this case. The review panel's report will be completed as a matter of urgency for presentation to the Minister for Health and Children. I assure the Senator that this matter is receiving priority attention. The Minister will review the position in relation to this issue on receipt of the review panel's comprehensive evaluation of the health board's report.
