The organisation of the physiotherapy service at St. Finbarr's Hospital is primarily a matter for the Southern Health Board.
There are 19 physiotherapists employed by the board to provide a joint physiotherapy service to the regional hospital and St. Finbarr's Hospital.
I understand the board is not satisfied that it has been satisfactorily meeting the physiotherapy requirements of the young chronic sick unit at St. Finbarr's and is examining the situation again.
