Liam Twomey

Question:

324 Dr. Twomey asked the Minister for Health and Children the person who decided that the place of residence of the accident and emergency consultants appointed to Clonmel, Kilkenny and Wexford general hospitals should be Waterford when these consultants will provide the majority of their sessional work (details supplied) in the three hospitals mentioned; and if he will intervene in this vital service for the counties of Wexford, Carlow-Kilkenny and Tipperary. [10915/04]

Written answers

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

The provision of services, including the appointment of staff at the hospitals mentioned, is a matter for the South Eastern Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate the matter raised and reply directly to the Deputy.
