I plan to visit Letterkenny University Hospital (LUH) on 12 December 2016. I will follow this scheduled visit to the Hospital with officially opening the Donegal Medical Academy, which is co-located with Letterkenny University Hospital. The Donegal Medical Academy delivers the Undergraduate Medical Education Programme in conjunction with the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) Medical School.

Due to time constraints, I am unable to meet with the Donegal branch of Diabetes Ireland on this particular visit. I have not had a formal meeting request on this occasion, and would be open to meeting representatives of Diabetes Ireland, should they so request.
