177 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Health if he will make a statement on the level of finance made available for the purchase of new equipment in Tralee General Hospital, County Kerry, Castlebar Hospital, County Mayo and Sligo General Hospital, County Sligo for each of the years 1990 and 1991; and if he has satisfied himself that Tralee General Hospital received an equitable share of funding as compared with the other two above mentioned hospitals.

Some of the details requested by the Deputy are not available in my Department. I will give the full set of information to him when it has been supplied by the relevant health boards.
