Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has recently received an application from the Midland Health Board for the provision of a CAT scanner at Portlaoise General Hospital. This is at present being considered by my Department in the light of various capital priorities in line with funding resources available. I expect to be in a position to make a decision on this shortly and my Department will then be in touch with the board on the matter.
