45. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Health if he will ensure that any reorganisation of general hospital services throughout the country will not result in the closure or downgrading of existing hospitals on the grounds of being obsolete or outdated particularly if this has been caused by a lack of a proper development plan with adequate funding over the past number of years; if the need to meet patient needs in a particular catchment area will continue to remain the major criterion for the future development of the general hospital services; if the determination of such policy rests with his Department, the Health Service Executive or others; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
