Written Answers. - Provision of Hydrotherapy Pool.

Gay Mitchell

Question:

215 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health if he will provide a therapeutic pool in St. Joseph's Rheumatology and Rehabilitation Centre, Our Lady's Hospice, Harolds Cross, Dublin 6W since patients there are badly in need of such a facility for hydrotherapy treatment.

Minister for Health (Mr. Howlin)

The provision of additional resources towards the purchase of a hydrotherapy pool at Our Lady's Hospice, Harolds Cross, will be considered in the context of the capital resources available to my Department in 1993, and in the light of the many other competing demands for health funds countrywide.
