asked the Minister for Health the number of dispensary doctors employed by Dublin Health Authority in each of the past three years.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Dispensary Doctors.
103.
The number of district medical officers employed by Dublin Health Authority at 30th September in each of the past three years is as follows:— 1966, 78; 1967, 80; 1968, 83.
Would I be right in saying that the Minister is not right in that statement? In a Parliamentary question yesterday or the day before he said there were 62 medical officers employed by the Dublin Health Authority.
I think that was in the city of Dublin.
The figure for the Dublin Health Authority was 62.
No, I do not think so. The answer I gave certainly was 62 but I think that referred to the city of Dublin and not to the Dublin Health Authority.
I thought it was the Authority.
I have not got the answer here.
Will the Minister look into that?
The figures are 78, 80 and 83. I think the question I answered the other day related to the city.
The answer I got was 62. There is now a difference of 21.
