============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The Deputy is aware of the Government's commitments and plans in regard to expanding the cardiology service at Waterford University Hospital in terms of a second catheterisation laboratory, expanding the hours as the Deputy outlined and, critically, the recruitment of key personnel. This is not a funding issue. Predominantly, it has been an issue determined by the various colleges in terms of cardiology and their view of what level of service should be in different settings. We have had that discussion and we are committed to expanding the service as quickly as we possibly can.
