Written Answers. - Orthopaedic Services.
Prior to the opening of the new hospital at Tallaght patients from south west Dublin who required orthopaedic services were usually referred to the Meath, Adelaide, St. James's or Cappagh Orthopaedic Hospitals depending on the nature of their condition. Patients may now be referred to the new facility at Tallaght or, alternatively they may be referred to St. James's or Cappagh Orthopaedic Hospitals.
