Vol. 535 No. 1

Written Answers - Consultant Appointments.

Brian O'Shea

Question:

361 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will list the new consultant posts filled at Waterford Regional Hospital, County Waterford in 2000 and to date in 2001; the new consultant posts to be filled during the remainder of 2001; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12257/01]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

The provision of services, including the appointment of consultant staff at Waterford Regional Hospital, is a matter for the South-Eastern Health Board. I have, therefore, asked the chief executive officer at the board to reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
