Question:

28. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Health when he will complete improvements to radiology services at South Tipperary General Hospital; the investment cost of these improvements; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20602/16]

Written answers

Minister for Health

Significant investment has been made to improve radiology services at South Tipperary General Hospital. I understand that building work, to extend current facilities, commenced in November 2015 and is expected to be substantially completed by September 2016. A new CT Unit has been purchased and is in storage pending completion of the building works.

I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy with any more detailed information which might be available.
