Eric J. Byrne

Question:

177 Mr. Byrne asked the Minister for Health the reason a person (details supplied) in Dublin 12 who has been waiting for a year and a half for neurosurgery has again had her appointment for Beaumont Hospital, Dublin 9, put back from 27 August to 1 October, 1992.

Minister for Health (Dr. O'Connell)

I understand from Beaumont Hospital that, due to annual leave arrangements, the appointment for 27 August 1992 will not take place. The patient will now be seen on 6 August, 1992.
