Vol. 420 No. 9
122 Mr. Byrne asked the Minister for Health when a person (details supplied) in Dublin 12 may be admitted to St. James' Hospital, Dublin 8, for a hernia repair operation as he is in great pain.
123 Mr. Byrne asked the Minister for Health if he will outline the extent of the waiting list for elective hernia repair operations at St. James' Hospital, Dublin 8, and if he will confirm that emergency cases only are now being accepted at St. James' Hospital and that patients suffering from non-life threatening conditions such as hernias are not being admitted for the foreseeable future.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 122 and 123 together.
