Question:141 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Health and Children if he has considered the difficulties that will be experienced at St. Luke's Hospital, County Kilkenny; if he is in a position to authorise changes of the report of the Medical Council in respect of essential anaesthesia staff and the impact this will have in the functioning of St. Luke's Hospital; the alternative action he will propose to the South Eastern Health Board to ensure that the patients of Carlow-Kilkenny will continue to get the service they require; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
