Ceisteanna (707)

John Halligan

Ceist:

707. Deputy John Halligan asked the Minister for Health if his Department is seeking to fill posts within the pain clinic in University Hospital Waterford; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that there is only one half pain post in the hospital, and the standard practice is to prioritise inpatients who are seen first, and that this is causing extended waiting lists for treatment (details supplied); his plans to address the shortfall in the complement of pain consultant positions; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In relation to the particular query raised, as this is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and my officials will follow the matter up.
