asked the Minister for Health the number of dispensary districts in County Donegal and the number of people in receipt of medical cards in each district.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Donegal Medical Card Holders.
4.
There are thirty-five statutory dispensary districts in County Donegal but two of the districts are sub-divided for administrative purposes. Crossroads Dispensary District is sub-divided into Crossroads No. 1 (Falcarragh) and Crossroads No. 2 (Bunbeg) districts and Dungloe Dispensary District is subdivided into Dungloe No. 1, Dungloe No. 2 (Burtonport) and Dungloe No. 3 (Arranmore) districts. Each of these sub-divisions is served by a district medical officer.
As the reply to the second part of the Deputy's question is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, a Cheann Comhairle, with your permission, to circulate it with the Official Report.
The information given in the statement is in respect of the 30th June, 1962, which is the latest date for which it is available.
