Alan M. Dukes
Question:58 Mr. Dukes asked the Minister for Health and Children if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the Medical Council has refused to give accreditation for temporary registered doctors in the accident and emergency department and in anaesthesia at Naas General Hospital, County Kildare; the reason the hospital has failed to recruit an additional two consultant anaesthetists as required by the council 15 months ago; and if he regards the current situation, which will place lives of patients at risk, as satisfactory.
