Vol. 380 No. 4

Written Answers. - Tralee (Kerry) Hospital Anaesthetist Services.

28.

asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the intense pressure under which anaesthetists are working in the general hospital in Tralee, County Kerry; and if he will take steps to alleviate same.

The consultant staffing levels at Tralee General Hospital are primarily a matter for the Chief Executive Officer of the Southern Health Board and Comhairle na nOspidéal. I am aware of the difficulties with regard to the provision of anaesthetic services at the hospital and I have asked my Department to have urgent discussions with the Southern Health Board about the matter.
