At the request of my Department, a committee was established by the former Comhairle na nOspidéal to review arrangements for the provision of neurosurgical services and consultant staffing nationally, and following consultation with the interests concerned, to make recommendations on the future organisation and development of neurosurgical services. My Department has been informed that the report will be published very shortly.

The future development of neurosurgery services, including the services at Beaumont will be considered in the light of the report and resources available.
