Liz McManus

Question:

322 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Health and Children if his attention has been drawn to the fact that there is no dietician in St. Columcille’s Hospital, Loughlinstown; the reasons this is so; when the post is to be filled; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8272/04]

Written answers

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Any proposal to develop services at St. Columcille's Hospital, Loughlinstown, is a matter for consideration by the Eastern Regional Health Authority in the first instance. My Department has, therefore, asked the regional chief executive of the authority to investigate the matters raised by the Deputy and to reply to her directly.
