Ceisteanna (1078)

Matt Shanahan

Ceist:

1078. Deputy Matt Shanahan asked the Minister for Health the timeline to recommence modifications to the existing cath lab at University Hospital Waterford; the reason no Covid-19 test was offered to foreign engineers to allow them on-site access at any stage up to the lifting of travel restrictions in view of the fact the refit was classed as essential work; the further reason an infection control protocol initiated by hospital management precluded access to the existing cardiac suite to allow modifications to continue in further view of the fact it is at the opposite end of the campus and in further view of the fact only to two Covid-19 patients were being treated in the separately housed Dunmore wing of the hospital; the definitive date the existing lab modifications will be completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to you directly as soon as possible.
