This is the reply I have received to all other points I have made in respect of every concern people in Mullingar have concerning services. Although I acknowledge what the Minister of State and the Minister for Health and Children have said about a great deal of money having been spent, I asked a very direct, straight question to clarify the situation in respect of rumours of a downgrading or closure of accident and emergency facilities during the evenings and at weekends and that was not answered. I ask the Minister of State to provide me with a better answer.
