Declan Bree
Question:88 Mr. Bree asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the epidural service in Sligo general hospital has been withdrawn; and if his attention has further been drawn to the fear and concern of many expectant mothers who are distressed at the failure of the North Western Health Board to provide such a service in Sligo general hospital in view of the fact that adequate funding has been provided by his Department to provide such services; the action, if any, he intends to take to ensure that the service is reinstated; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
