Limerick East): Diabetic services for the Southern Health Board are currently provided at Cork University Hospital, where the board's endocrinology service is based, at the South Infirmary-Victoria Hospital and also by a number of general physicians in Tralee General Hospital.
The question of a consultant led service in Kerry has been raised in the recent past and the health board has examined the options in relation to the delivery of this service in consultation with senior medical, nursing and other staff.
