| Description: | The year 1982 has been the most
difficult the Board has had since its .
foundation with its financial allocation cut in
real terms by more than five per cent. That
we have come through the year without
doing damage to the structure of our
services, and without any undue hardship to
patients or the public generally is a tribute to
the board's own constructive, positive and
realistic approach to the problems we faced,
to the dedication and co - operation of our
staff in all services and very much to the
community itself which modified its demands
on us.
Despite these difficulties, progress can be reported on a number of
fronts. The upgrading and improving of our psychiatric hospitals continued,
including the opening of a boutique for patients in St. Columba's Hospital,
Sligo. The development of our day hospital services included the opening of
improved facilities at Donegal Hospital. New services for the handicapped
included an aids resources centre in Sligo, improved assessment and
information service and the completion with the help of Board funds of new
pra-school/day centres at Carrick-on-Shannon and at Ballytivnan, Sligo. The
Community Nursing Unit at Buncrana is now complete, but as yet unopened.
First steps were taken in developing renal dialysis at Letterkenny and Sligo
General Hospitals, and the new coronary care unit was opened in
Letterkenny. |
