Responsibility for the provision of health services to persons living in County Sligo rests with the North Western Health Board. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.

Responsibility for the provision of services at Sligo General Hospital rests with the North Western Health Board. My Department is aware that the provision of a new renal dialysis unit at the hospital is a priority for the board. A submission on this development has recently been received from the board and is being considered by my Department in the context of the board's overall capital needs and in line with funding resources available for the health services.
