Question 237: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if there has been negotiations between the Health Service Executive and potential investors regarding the construction of a private hospital in Letterkenny; if this is the case, the possible timeframes and commitments to the process; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I met with a delegation from North West Healthcare on 10 September 2007, at their request, for the purpose of briefing me on their proposal to develop a private hospital in Letterkenny. No action was envisaged, or arises, for me from this meeting. Any discussions between the HSE and the investors is a matter for themselves.

My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to have a reply issued concerning this matter directly to the Deputy.
