There are 8,000 people aged more than 65 years in County Roscommon. They are in need of medical care on a more regular basis than younger people. That is a fact of life. In many cases, these people might suffer from pneumonia or something similar and they need attention. It is not necessary to go to UCHG to get that attention. You get it in Roscommon County Hospital or Roscommon Acute General Hospital and we have doubled the number of consultants to ensure that they will continue to get this service in the future. We have increased medical, surgical, anaesthetic, radiology and radiography services and we have the best screening room. It is all there. I signed a €1 million contract for new theatres. I insisted that I sign that contract before my term on the Western Health Board was terminated on 13 June 2002. I was the outgoing chairman and I was not even allowed to hand over my chain of office to the incoming chairman. However, I told the chief executive officer that if I did not sign that contract it would not be signed once I had gone. I signed it because I was chairman of the Western Health Board and because I insisted. I also campaigned for, and was successful in getting, St. Colman's ward upgraded. We upgraded the hospital, which will now be perfect. The accident and emergency department will meet the needs of the people of Roscommon and surrounding areas such as Longford.
