Question 218: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if she will give a commitment that the 24-hour accident and emergency service in St. Columcille's Hospital, County Dublin, will continue as is currently provided; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [22964/10]

At present, I am not aware of any changes to the manner in which emergency services will be delivered at St Columcille's Hospital, Loughlinstown.
The Deputy will be aware that the HSE is examining the number of Non-Consultant Hospital Doctors who will be available in all hospitals after the next rotation of NCHDs in early July. This may have implications for how services are delivered in some hospitals. The overall picture will become clearer in the coming weeks.
