In relation to the particular query raised, as this is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly.

Public hospital services in Ireland are provided by the HSE and are organised into seven Hospital Groups. The services delivered include inpatient scheduled care, unscheduled/emergency care, maternity services, outpatient and diagnostic services.  A wide range of emergency, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation services are provided in Ireland's public hospitals.

However, as the Bonsecours Hospital Galway is a private facility, the Department and the HSE do not have a remit in this area and do not hold the requested information.
