Ceist:275 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for Health the number of operating theatres to be provided in the new surgical wing of Wexford General Hospital.
Vol. 402 No. 1
275 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for Health the number of operating theatres to be provided in the new surgical wing of Wexford General Hospital.
276 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for Health if there will be a separate suite in the new wing of Wexford General Hospital for gynaecological surgery.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 275 and 276 together.
The newly constructed Phase 1 Development, Wexford General Hospital, includes two self-contained theatre suites with the appropriate level of reception, recovery and ancillary services.
In line with the normal provision within hospitals of this scale, the facilities do not include a separate suite for gynaecological surgery.
