Breeda Moynihan-Cronin

Ceist:

101 Ms B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Minister for Health and Children if his attention has been drawn to the significant staff and resource shortages at the maternity unit of a hospital (details supplied); if he will carry out a review of staff numbers in the unit; the numbers of births in the unit in each of the years from 1997 to 2002; the number of full-time staff employed in the unit in each of the years from 1997 to 2002; if his Department has considered the construction of a purposed-built maternity unit at the hospital; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3133/03]

Responsibility for the provision of services at Tralee General Hospital rests with the Southern Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive officer of the board to look into the matters raised and reply directly to the Deputy.
