Question:302 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of vacant approved consultant posts in the general medical service; the hospitals and the health board to which the posts relate; the speciality concerned; and the date when each post will be filled on a permanent basis. [22938/98]

Question:303 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of vacant hospital consultant posts which Comhairle na nOspidéal is not yet in a position to consider for appointment due to lack of financial clearance by his Department; the hospitals and health board to which they relate; the speciality concerned; the date when each post became vacant; and the reason for each vacancy. [22939/98]

Question:304 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Health and Children the requests from each hospital seeking sanction for the appointment of additional consultants; the nature of the speciality concerned; the numbers of patients requiring consultants or surgery in respect of each speciality on the particular hospital waiting lists; the date of the requests made in each case for sanction for the appointment of an additional consultant; the extent to which each request has been processed to date; the nature of the discussion to date on each request with the hospital and the relevant health board; and the involvement to date of Comhairle na nOspidéal. [22940/98]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 296, 302, 303 and 304 together.
I have set out the details requested in the following tables. The table providing information on the public in-patient waiting list numbers relates to figures available at the end of June 1998.
In relation to the information on vacant approved consultant posts, this has been supplied by Comhairle na nOspidéal. The information supplied contains a breakdown of these posts by health board area rather than by hospital due to the number of joint appointments between geographically close hospitals.
Comhairle na nOspidéal was established in 1970 to regulate the number and type of consultant and senior registrar appointments and to specify qualifications for these levels. The procedures in filling a consultant post involve, in the first instance, the submission of an application form to the Department of Health and Children from the relevant agency which identifies the financial and service implications of the post. The Department assesses this application and if considered appropriate from the financial and policy perspectives, would furnish approval to the agency. The agency then submits the post for clearance to comhairle. It should be noted that comhairle can only consider an application for a consultant post on foot of departmental approval.
A critical consideration by this Department in approving consultant posts is the equitable provision of acute hospital specialities throughout the country. In this regard, a number of policy documents, such as the health strategy, the cancer strategy and the emerging cardiovascular strategy, serve as guiding principles towards ensuring that each region is self-sufficient in the main acute hospital specialties.
A post approved by Comhairle na nOspidéal is classified as vacant until an appointee takes up duty on a permanent basis. The selection and appointment process to be undergone following comhairle approval can take some time. This involves preparing the necessary documentation, advertising the post, constituting an interview board, making a recommendation and ultimately agreeing a starting date between the employer and appointee. Therefore, as many factors can impinge on the time taken to complete this process, the Deputies will appreciate that it is not possible to give a precise indication as to when consultant posts would be approved and filled.
