Seanad debates

Wednesday, 18 June 2003

Recently, Professor Denis Gill of the Royal College of Surgeons said in a speech that acute hospital beds for children had been used on 108 occasions last year to mind children for a few days, sometimes a few weeks and, in some cases, even a few months. Not only does this mean that children are in the wrong place, it also means that other children who are ill, some of whom may need urgent treatment, are not being treated. Will the Leader ask the Minister for Health and Children to return to the House to tell us what his Department and those involved in organising such care are doing?
