I welcome the Minister of State's statement that the HSE has indicated that the Monksland primary care centre is currently located in CHO area 2 and that no decision has been made to transfer this centre to CHO area 8. The Government should take more control. Ministers should decide on any major transfers. I would have much more faith in dealing with the Minister of State, Deputy Canney, the Minister, Deputy Harris, the Taoiseach or any member of the Government than dealing with the HSE. I hope the Government will take back control of the health services from the HSE and become more hands-on regarding all decisions being made.
