Limerick East): The position in relation to this issue is as I stated in a previous parliamentary question on 26 November 1996.
Diabetic services for the Southern Health Board are currently provided at Cork University Hospital, where the board's endocrinology service is based, at the South Infirmary/Victoria Hospital and also by a number of general physicians in Tralee General Hospital.
