asked the Minister for Health whether he is aware of the delay in appointing a permanent medical officer to the Clonmoyle dispensary district, Coachford, County Cork, and what is the present position in the matter.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Cork Dispensary Vacancy.
The delay in making a permanent appointment of district medical officer in the Clonmoyle dispensary district is due to the failure of the person recommended by the Local Appointments Commissioners to accept the appointment and also to difficulties which arose regarding the lease of the dispensary residence.
I am informed that the Local Appointments Commissioners expect to be in a position to recommend another candidate shortly.
