The Hospital also provides a comprehensive service to the General Practitioners in the catchment area including direct access to: -Radiology -Pathology -Physiotherapy -Diabetic -Dietetic -Endoscopy -Routine & Stress ECG -Day Hospital (Elderly) The recent trends in the increasing need for hospital services over the past number of years continued in 1999. 1 must acknowledge the dedication and tremendous commitment of all our staff as it was only with their co-operation and exceptional efforts that the Hospital was able to respond appropriately to the service need of the catchment population. The Hospital had and continues to face the ongoing problem of shortage of suitably qualified nurses in the employment market. This we feel is going to continue for some time into the future. The nursing staff are to be complemented on their commitment and efforts in maintaining services at existing levels throughout the year. SERVICE DEVELOPMENTS IN 1999 In addition to core activities, a number of service developments place during the year which will both enhance the overall quality of provided for our patients and expand the range of services available at the Hospital. , I These included: 4 ' Development of C.T.
