Councillor Gerry McGonagle has been informed that a full-time Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) will be recruited for Letterkenny University Hospital.
Cllr McGonagle raised the matter at today’s meeting of the HSE West Forum.
He asked for an update and confirmation that LUH has made an application to the HSE to provide funding for a full time ANP post for the Adult Type 1 diabetes service and what has been the HSE response to the application.
Dermot Monaghan, Integrated Health Area Manager for Donegal, responded: “A new National ANP funding stream became available in March and LUH has now been informed we will receive funding for one ANP Type 1 diabetes post as this was our number one priority. LUH will now proceed to recruit.”
