Vol. 427 No. 6
272 Mr. O'Donoghue asked the Minister for Health whether provision has been made in his Department's Estimates for 1993 to enable a kidney dialysis unit to be opened in Tralee General Hospital, County Kerry.
278 Mr. B. Smith asked the Minister for Health if he will provide the necessary funding in 1993 to the North-Eastern Health Board to establish a renal dialysis unit in Cavan General Hospital, County Cavan.
I propose to answer Questions Nos. 272 and 278 together.
While no specific funds have been provided in the 1993 Estimates in respect of these service developments, I have asked my Department to discuss them with the health boards involved in the context of their 1993 service plans.
