Will the Leader arrange to have, at the earliest opportunity, a detailed debate on the report of the task force on medical staffing, the Hanly report? If I am accused of being parochial I will accept the accusation because as far as I am concerned, we fought for and got a hospital in Roscommon. I signed a contract for approximately €8 million for an accident and emergency department in the hospital, which is under construction. We have appointed an accident and emergency consultant and it will be over our dead bodies, politically or otherwise, that we will close that facility before it is opened. I want to make it clear that I want this report rejected as early as possible.
