Vol. 495 No. 1
239 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Health and Children if arrangements will be made to have a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath admitted for surgery on his knee; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19061/98]
The provision of medical treatment to eligible persons in County Westmeath is the statutory responsibility of the Midland Health Board in the first instance. I have asked the chief executive officer of the Midland Health Board to investigate this case and to reply to the Deputy directly as a matter of urgency.
