Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - West Cabra Clinic.

The answer to the first part of the question is yes. It is not possible at present to state when building operations are likely to commence and no estimate has yet been made of the approximate cost.More Button

A site has been provisionally approved at Blind Lane off Dowth Avenue.More Button

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Birr Dispensary.

I am informed that while the new dispensary is situated on the outskirts of the town of Birr, its location should not cause undue inconvenience to persons attending it. The county manager is satisfie...More Button

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Hospital Conditions in Leix-Offaly.

As a result of my recent visit to Leix-Offaly I am satisfied that with the exception of certain public assistance institutions the hospital facilities in these centres are reasonably satisfactory. Any...More Button

I am aware that representations have been made over a long period regarding alterations to be carried out at sanatoria. However, as the Deputy may or may not be aware, we have been working on a decis...More Button

I think the Deputy must be misinformed. The proposals were for 21 additional beds and reconditioning of the premises, the provision of a residence for the medical officer and additional accommodation...More Button

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Allowances in Infectious Diseases Cases.

Allowances under the Infectious Diseases (Maintenance) Regulations, 1948, may be paid only to persons to whom Section 44 of the Health Act, 1947, applies. In the case of a person suffering from an in...More Button

Committee on Finance. - Vote 68—Health (Resumed).

I would like first of all to pay a tribute to the treatment which has been given, on the whole, to this Estimate by the majority of Deputies. As a new Deputy and a new Minister, I have been particula...More Button

Consequently, it is not surprising that the information which they apparently gleaned from this newspaper was incorrect. There is no question of the axing of any of these health provisions. Deputy D...More Button

Did he see the development plans when he was on the site?More Button

With regard to Dublin a number of Deputies wondered what the hospital position is. Deputy McCann and Deputy Byrne and Deputy Burke and others spoke on it. In regard to the regional hospitals in Cor...More Button

I am sorry. There is to be provided in Dublin a large general hospital of the size of perhaps St. Laurence's. A decision on that has not yet been arrived at, but it will be in the next week or so.More Button

Exactly—for years. Deputy Dr. Brennan, Deputy Byrne, Deputy Burke, Deputy O'Grady, and other Deputies discussed the question of nurses, of nurses' homes, and the conditions for nurses in hospitals and...More Button

Will the Deputy tell me what good excuses are to a man who wants a bed in a sanatorium? What good is a White Paper? I know there are difficulties.More Button

I am not shirking.More Button

You shelved the sanatoria. That is much more important to us. Deputy MacEntee talked about his plans and his proposals. He also said that I criticised at Ringsend and other places the extravagance o...More Button

I am well able to reply for myself.More Button

Deputy MacEntee also made another point, a really good one. “Did I not know what the previous Administration did.” As a matter of fact I accepted it and I was not making a point of it. Allowances we...More Button

There is a small point with regard to salaries that I would like to refer to, a point that I hate to waste the time of the House on. The Deputy however, made a point about Minister's salaries. I sai...More Button

I would like to deal with the question of propaganda with regard to health. It is obvious that we will use to the full the cinemas, the radio, the newspapers and talks to the people generally, and in...More Button

I am not surprised.More Button

I hope that the Deputies will accept my invitation to make personal representations with regard to any problem in connection with the provision of hospitals or dispensaries or anything relating to the...More Button

I am not blaming Galway County Council.More Button

My answer is the same.More Button

With regard to rheumatism clinics, we are training doctors in the first clinic and when they have gained some experience we hope to expand the service over the whole country.More Button
