Minister due to meet with Donegal GPS as surgical hub debacle continues

The Health Minister is due to meet with Donegal GPS and consultants next week as the North West surgical hub debacle continues.  It comes as a key meeting between Minister Jennifer Carrol MacNeill and Donegal TDs took place last night, where the case was put to the Minister that a standalone hub for Letterkenny is crucial. Sligo has been identified as the preferred location as a part of a HSE business case. Meanwhile in a statement today, a spokesperson for the consultants say they are looking forward to next week’s engagement with the Minister, where data pleading the Donegal case will be presented to her.  Donegal Fianna Fail TD Pat the Cope Gallagher is hopeful that further meetings may results in a second hub for the region:
