Question:115 Mr. Byrne asked the Minister for Health the reason a nursing service (details supplied) is no longer available for pregnant diabetic women; if he will reinstate the service; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers. - Nursing Service.
The Coombe Hospital provides weekly clinics at Tallaght for routine ante-natal services for pregnant women.
The Deputy will appreciate, however, that, for medical reasons, some patients who require special tests and/or monitoring are referred to the hospital rather than the outlying clinic.
