John Perry
Ceist:279 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will reconsider the decision to severely reduce or possibly cease the respiratory services currently being provided at Peamount Hospital, including care of patients with tuberculosis and other chest or respiratory complaints; his views on whether the situation at Peamount Hospital and the cessation of tuberculosis services at the hospital, which is the only specialist hospital here dealing exclusively with chest patients, is potentially grave; the steps he will take to redress the issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
