Health Service: Statements.
As Senator O'Meara mentioned Nenagh, I will refer to Portiuncula Hospital in Ballinasloe. I have reason to believe that since the Department acquired the hospital from the Franciscan Sisters some time ago, there has been a shortfall of €3 million in funding for it. This clearly indicates that the shortfall will be made up in the future by downgrading and making the hospital a step-down facility.
