The bone-density scanning service at Merlin Park Hospital has been extended.
DXA scanning is an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of bone-related conditions such as osteoporosis.
The facility was currently only operational one morning per week – however, this has now been extended to 2 mornings a week.
There are over 4,600 people on the waiting list for a bone scan.
The HSE says it’s continuing its efforts to recruit a radiographer to provide a full-time service.
