I have visited the Mater hospital twice since my appointment as Minister to attend two conferences which were hosted there. These were:

- a conference on Joint Cardiology and & Cardiothoracic Nursing on May 20th;

- a conference on Colorectal Cancer on September 16th.

I have not, to date, visited either Beaumont Hospital or St. Joseph's Hospital. However I have received invitations to visit a number of Dublin hospitals and these invitations are being considered and will be responded to in due course.
