Question:

275 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children his plans to replace an orthodontist in Merlin Park Hospital; and the number of staff employed in the orthodontic treatment department in Galway. [10463/04]

Written answers

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

The recruitment and management of orthodontic staff in the Western Health Board is the statutory responsibility of the chief executive officer. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive officer to provide the Deputy with the information in respect of personnel in the orthodontic service as requested.
