Question:263 Miss Coughlan asked the Minister for Health and Children if funding will be provided to appoint a third consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist at Sligo General Hospital in 1999. [4292/99]
Written Answers. - Consultant Appointments.
The service plan for 1999 submitted by the North-Western Health Board to my Department does not make provision for the appointment of a third consultant obstetrician/gynaeologist at Sligo General Hospital. However, I understand that the need for an additional post will be the subject of on going service review by the board.
