Thomas Pringle
Question:989. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Health if he considers it acceptable, as outlined by the head of the radiology department in Letterkenny University Hospital, that on-call staff at the weekend have no paediatric experience to perform a contrast x-ray on a sick child who requires same (details supplied); the reason that it has taken a year for a report to be given to the family following this complaint being submitted for a response where no recommendations can be made to improve the service for sick children who require local services, where the paediatrician is in support of the family accessing these services locally to avoid unnecessary travel of four hours each way for a 15-minute test; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
