I will raise that matter with the Minister. In respect of the Senator's comment about not maintaining the hospital, a few years ago, I listened to the debate on Nenagh General Hospital and arguments that it was to be downgraded. When one sees the extra staffing and funding for the hospital, one can see that the Government intends to ensure the hospital continues and provides a better service to the people of the Senator's area.
