[6582/02]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

The provision of services at Tralee General Hospital is a matter for the Southern Health Board in the first instance. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive officer at the board to look into the matter raised and reply directly to the Deputy.
