I am aware that some concerns have been raised in relation to the demand for services at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda. The Health Service Executive is working to increase the capacity of the hospital through a programme of investment, including the development of a new Accident and Emergency Department. I am not familiar with the circumstances surrounding the particular case raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to investigate the issues raised and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
