197. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Health if he has received a report from the Expert Group on the Trauma Care Accident and Emergency Network which examined trauma care in the accident and emergency network; if recent reports indicating that there are nine accident and emergency departments across the country considered for rationalisation are correct; if in that context, he will ensure that such proposals are not allowed to proceed, particularly in the context of the midlands where in excess of 300,000 people living across counties Westmeath, Longford, Laois, Offaly and Kildare would be greatly affected by any such proposals which are not grounded in logic or reality; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
