Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Limerick Regional Hospital.
It is expected that the Limerick Regional Hospital will be completed in the spring of 1954. The regional area it is proposed to serve has not been finally determined but in addition to providing a general medical and surgical service for persons resident in Limerick County and County Borough it will provide special services for those areas and also, probably, for persons resident in County Clare and Tipperary North Riding.
The question of the authority to be responsible for the management of the hospital is being examined.
