Madam, – I must congratulate Muiris Houston on his Opinion piece in your edition of October 10th. The New Zealand model seems plausible for Ireland and a network of 20 to 25 general hospitals makes sense. The idea of creating autonomous health units to respond to the changing needs of local populations is pleasing music to the ear. – Yours, etc,
Dr MÍCHEAL FANNING,
