View answer200. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Health if outline plans drawn up for a second catheterisation laboratory at University Hospital Waterford require the orthodontic unit or any other unit to be moved notwithstanding a favourable decision of an independent review group on relation to the provision of a second catheterisation laboratory at the hospital; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 199 and 200 together.
There is no independent plan to move the orthodontic unit at University Hospital Waterford.
The Deputy will be aware that in accordance with the Programme for a Partnership Government, an independent clinical review of the need for a second cardiac catheterisation laboratory at University Hospital Waterford is underway and is expected to be concluded shortly. No decisions in relation to the second catheterisation lab will be made pending the finalisation of that review.
