I received two letters and three telephone calls in the past two days relating to the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Dún Laoghaire. It has been said on numerous occasions that a totally new hospital was to be built there. It was then said that there were setbacks and that it was to be an extension. On his next visit to the House, could the Minister for Health give us a comprehensive update on the suggestion in the last few days at the hospital that it will be delayed to 2017 and that it will be a much modified scheme? The staff and the people who run the hospital are unhappy and there needs to be greater clarity about this major project. I would appreciate it if the Minister could address it when he next visits the House.
