Alan M. Dukes
Ceist:110 Mr. Dukes asked the Minister for Health and Children if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the lack of a pathologist at Naas Hospital, County Kildare, to supply pathology services to the Kildare coroner causes serious delays to the carrying out of post-mortem examinations, increases the cost of post-mortem examinations, which have to be carried out outside the county at substantial extra expense, disrupts funeral arrangements and causes further distress to bereaved families; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
