Mary O'Rourke
Question:71 Mrs. O'Rourke asked the Minister for Health if he will request the relevant health board to allow space in St. Vincent's District Hospital, Athlone and or the adjacent health centre for the holding of a paediatric out-patient clinic for a person (details supplied); if his attention has been drawn to the fact that for the past two years Deputy O'Rourke has consistently raised this matter and the relevant health board has not made any progress on the issue; if his attention has further been drawn to the fact that this clinic is being availed of by many children and that both children and parents will be discommoded if the clinic, which is currently being held in a nearby hotel, ceases; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
