Is the Minister aware that there are proposals for a day centre at Ennistymon hospital? Are his Department aware that a schedule of accommodation has been drawn up and that his Department, together with the health board and the hospital authorities, should have come to some agreement by now?

I understand that the board at present are drawing up plans for the development of a day hospital at Ennistymon and that these will be submitted to the Department in due course. I have not got them at the moment. A local voluntary group have promised to make a contribution towards the cost of this project. That is the position regarding Ennistymon, and I would be glad to hear from the health board about their immediate plans in that regard.
