As can be seen from the list of developments I have outlined, the Government is committed to the development of facilities at Roscommon County Hospital. In particular, the development of surgical services has enabled the hospital to increase its day surgery work. My Department is very aware that St. Coman's ward is in need of upgrading. Plans have been agreed with the Western Health Board design team, local management and their technical services department. Unfortunately, the Western Health Board is unable to provide the funding for this project from within the funding of €1.65 million provided by the Minister last year. The funding provided has been utilised to purchase new X-ray equipment and refurbish the operating theatre.
