Vol. 222 No. 14
asked the Minister for Health if he is aware that a woman (name supplied) suffered a stroke on 23rd January and was unable to get hospital accommodation up to the time of her death on 8th February; and, if so, in view of the home conditions and in view of the fact that a nurse was able to call only for a short period, he will investigate this particular case and state if he is satisfied that adequate medical care was rendered to this person.
20.
asked the Minister for Health if he is aware that a woman (name supplied) aged 85 years, who needed medical care and hospitalisation for the first time in her life in January, 1966, was denied hospital accommodation in the local hospital; and, if so, if he is satisfied that she was accorded the services which were her due under the Health Acts.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 19 and 20 together.
When I received notice of the questions, I asked for a report from the Cork Health Authority. I have received the report but have not had an opportunity of studying it. I would suggest that the Deputy might repeat the questions when the House resumes after next week's break.
Would the Minister agree to send me a copy of his findings?
The Minister will give his answer to both questions when they are repeated. I will convey the Deputy's request to the Minister.
