The service has ceased. It is a very serious issue. There is no dermatology service in Waterford, with the highest level of skin care demand in the country. I was told by the Minister and Professor Higgins that during the establishment of the hospital groups patients would not be required to travel as the consultants would go to where the need was. Why are consultants not coming from Cork to treat and screen patients at Waterford University Hospital?
