3656. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Health if she will confirm the number of consultant dermatologist posts that are sanctioned for Midland Regional Hospital Tullamore; the number of those posts that are currently filled; the number that remain vacant, in view of a notification issued to a person stating that he has been placed on the dermatology out patients waiting list with an estimated wait time of approximately 103 weeks; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [62071/26]

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