Orthopaedic Consultant CUH


* To ask the Minister for Health and Children the status regarding the appointment of a paediatric orthopaedic consultant to Cork University Hospital; and if she will make a statement on the matter. 

REPLY

I understand that, following interviews held last December for posts of permanent Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, two applicants were offered posts; one appointee took up duty last month. The HSE placed a further advertisement for permanent posts and hopes to be be in a position to fill a minimum of two further posts in Cork University Hospital from this process. The HSE is seeking to ensure that one of the appointments made will have a special interest in paediatric orthopaedic surgery.

In the interim, the current service at St. Mary's Orthopaedic Hospital which is provided by visiting Paediatric Consultant Surgeons from Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin will continue.
