Paschal Donohoe (Fine Gael)

I ask the Minister to pass on my desperate request to the HSE that it meet the Daughters of Charity on the Navan Road and do all it can to ensure that services are not withdrawn in a week and a half. The Minister said the Government is doing all that is possible to maintain front-line services. These services will go and, to the best of my knowledge, the HSE and the Daughters of Charity have not met since this announcement was made. I ask the Minister to convey that to the HSE so we can try to avoid a desperate situation.
