Vol. 451 No. 5

Written Answers. - Western Health Board Submission.

Séamus Hughes

Question:

97 Mr. Hughes asked the Minister for Health the category of each position sought to be approved or filled in the Western Health Board's manpower submission in respect of each county in the Western Health Board area; the number of positions sought; the date the submission was lodged; and the sanction given in respect of this submission. [6927/95]

Limerick East): I have set out in the following table details of the Western Health Board's most recent submission to the Department seeking approval for the filling of consultant posts and additional non-consultant posts. Under revised arrangements, the Western Health Board may now fill replacement non-consultant posts without recourse to the Department, provided it is managing its expenditure within agreed limits.

The Department is now considering the board's submission having regard to the priority afforded to each post by the Western Health Board and the availability of financial resources. None of the additional posts listed has been approved to-date. Discussions are ongoing between the Department and the board in relation to medical consultant manpower needs in the board's area.
