Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin
Ceist:475. Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Health if he will provide the details of arthritis services in County Mayo; if he will ensure that a full-time rheumatologist be appointed to Mayo General Hospital in view of the under-provision of specialists in the county and the large number of people with the condition; if he will ensure that such a clinician is appointed in view of the fact that staff must currently travel in order to care for patients, one day a week, in turn wasting time on a commute that could be better spent on clinical duties; and that the quality of life of those with this, at times, debilitating condition, is reduced by travelling long distances for basic care; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
