The X-ray unit at Donegal Community Hospital is in full service again.
The unit was out of use due to breakages and was out of service earlier requiring upgrading and repair.
Deputy Pat the Cope Gallagher said he lobbied the HSE and successfully secured a commitment from them to fund the repairs to the unit in order to get the unit up and running again.
He said “I am glad to report that as of today the X ray unit is fully operational and available to the public, the provision of an X ray unit in Donegal Town and for the surrounding area is essential as it avoids people and patients having to travel further to avail of x ray services.
“The original X-ray unit was purchased through voluntary contributions from the general public of the Donegal Hospital catchment area.”
He added wished to compliment the HSE for honouring their commitment to fund the X-ray unit and their commitment to maintain it into the future.
