897. To ask the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the oncology department at the Cork University Hospital has ceased its on-call telephone advice service between 6pm and 8am and at weekends for patients due to staffing shortages and has advised patients receiving chemotherapy and who may suffer an allergic reaction to report to accident and emergency or the on-call GP/South Doc service; his views on whether this is appropriate; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Deputy's question relates to service delivery matters and accordingly I have asked the HSE to respond directly to him.
