Liam Aylward
Question:109 Mr. Aylward asked the Minister for Health the reason for the delay in putting into operation the new eight-bed dialysis unit which has been lying idle for some time at Ardkeen Regional Hospital, County Waterford; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that large numbers of people are travelling from Waterford, Kilkenny and the south east to Dublin several times per week at great personal hardship to avail of this treatment in spite of the fact that an adjacent unit is lying idle; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
