The Health Service Executive has informed my Department that it envisages that a broader range of surgical services will be developed at Roscommon County Hospital. A joint surgical department is being developed between Roscommon County Hospital and Portiuncula Hospital, Ballinasloe in order to secure the viability of their current surgical units and provide the optimum service to their catchment population.
