Details of visits made by me to public hospitals since my appointment as Minister for Health are detailed in the following table. Provisional visits to Kenmare and Dingle Community Hospitals on 25th and 26th November 2011 have also been arranged but have yet to be fully confirmed. It should be noted in my previous position as Fine Gael Health Spokesperson I visited many Hospitals. The Special Delivery Unit (SDU) established by my Department has visited most of the major Hospitals in the country and the SDU continues to liaise with me on plans for these Hospitals.
