Geraldine Feeney (Fianna Fail)

I have said all that I wanted to say on several occasions about the Hanly report. There was an article in The Irish Times on 3 August 2004 on a report compiled by Dr. Peter Barrett of the Independent Reconfiguration Panel in Britain, which reviews contested plans for change in the British health service. He came to Ireland and had a look at the Hanly report and said he did not see anything in it to suggest hospital closures. He stated: "I saw a lot of suggestions that might modernise and change, but nothing about closure." How much more is needed?
