I met the group proposing to develop a private hospital in Dundalk on 4 May 2005. No agreement was made at our meeting. In July I issued a policy direction to the board of the Health Service Executive in regard to private hospital developments that would free up new public beds. The HSE is now working on the implementation of this policy.
