Cashel rehabilitation unit relocation

Summary

Deputy McGrath objects to moving the rehabilitation unit from St. Patrick’s Hospital to the older Our Lady’s hospital in Cashel and intends to submit a Topical Issue; the Chair redirects him, while the Tánaiste provides no legislative date.

In view of the HSE's service plan, which we heard about but did not see this morning, and the Health (Amendment) Act, the removal of the rehab unit at St. Patrick's Hospital in Cashel to the older and unsuitable Our Lady's County and Surgical Hospital in Cashel is a madness that we thought was gone. Will someone ask the HSE officials-----

To what Bill is the Deputy referring?

The Health (Amendment) Act. Will someone ask the HSE officials to show respect to the elderly and to try to see sense?

Maybe the Deputy might submit a Topical Issue.

On the specific issue of the Health (Amendment) Act, there is no date as yet.
