I compliment the Minister and his Minister of State on dealing with these issues and telling us the facts as they are. I have heard about these reports Senator O'Meara referred to – the Hanly, Brennan and Prospectus reports. I have seen the headlines referring to the closure of acute hospitals. I attended a meeting last night in Tuam where there was a request from the local community to have a 60-bed community hospital in the town. The Minister has said, and has put in writing, that a population base of over 30,000 people would be an ideal number in a catchment area for a hospital. This would be the case in Tuam if we include the Tuam and Glenamaddy areas where 14% of the population are over 65, of whom 1,059 people live alone. Whether we are talking about step-down accommodation or a community hospital to go to after being discharged from the acute hospital, it would be an ideal development. I have the support of members of the Western Health Board in asking that the hospital brief for Tuam which has been with the Department since September 2002 should be progressed and that money should be provided for the building design work. I raise this issue again with the Minister of State with a view to getting money for the design of the building.
