asked the Minister for Health when a consultant will be appointed for the orthopaedic unit at Manorhamilton Hospital, County Leitrim.
Written Answers. - Manorhamilton (Leitrim) Hospital Orthopaedic Appointment.
702.
The orthopaedic unit was transferred from Our Lady's Hospital, Manorhamilton to Sligo General Hospital in June 1981. The question of appointing a consultant to the orthopaedic unit at Manorhamilton does not, therefore, arise.
If the Deputy is referring to the post of consultant in rheumatology and rehabilitation for Our Lady's Hospital, Manor-hamilton, I would refer him to my reply to a question by Deputy Ellis in column 985, volume 330, of the Official Report of 3 November 1981.
