90 Mr. Lawlor asked the Minister for Health when he will appoint a medical oncologist to the Southern Health Board region. [7542/95]
Limerick East): There are currently no proposals with my Department in relation to the appointment of a medical oncologist in the Southern Health Board region. As the Deputy is no doubt aware, the Comhairle na nOspidéal report on consultant manpower in the Southern Health Board region was published recently. The report is currently being considered by all relevant agencies with a view to prioritising service needs.
