‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Insurance Corporation of Ireland. Hip replacement operations in Tralee
Summary
Deputy McEllistrim sought funding for the Southern Health Board to resume hip replacements at Tralee General Hospital, suspended because implants could not be funded; the Ceann Comhairle said he would communicate with him.
I wish to raise on the Adjournment the subject matter of a Private Notice Question which I tabled for today. I wish to ask the Minister for Health if he will make the necessary finance available to the Southern Health Board to enable hip replacement operations to be carried out in Tralee General Hospital as such operations were discontinued due to lack of finance available to purchase orthopaedic implants.
