I am satisfied that the present level of medical provision for the treatment of sexually transmissible diseases in Cork is adequate to meet the demand for such services. An out-patient clinic is held at the South Infirmary, Victoria Hospital, twice a week. The pay and non-pay cost of this service, which is funded by the Southern Health Board was £17,400 in 1989.
