Vol. 504 No. 7
205 Ms O. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children when the position of physiologist in Crumlin Children's Hospital dealing with children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder will be filled to deal with the large waiting lists for this service. [13138/99]
221 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason for the delay in appointing a psychologist to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder children at Our Lady's Hospital, Crumlin; when this appointment will be made; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12769/99]
229 Mrs. Barnes asked the Minister for Health and Children when a psychologist will be appointed to Our Lady's Hospital, Crumlin, to replace a doctor (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12874/99]
242 Mr. P. Carey asked the Minister for Health and Children if a psychologist will be employed at Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin, to deal with a waiting list of approximately 85 patients some of whom have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12956/99]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 205, 221, 229, and 242 together.
I understand from the hospital authorities at Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children that it is the hospital's intention to appoint an additional psychologist in a temporary capacity and it is currently organising a recruitment campaign for this post. The hospital authorities hope to be in a position to appoint a suitably qualified candidate in the near future.
