337 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Health the reason there is a five month delay for CAT scans in the Cork Regional Hospital.
The scheduling of appointments for C.T. scanning is a matter for the consultant concerned and priority is given to urgent patients. The Cork Regional Hospital authorities have indicated that the average waiting time for C.T. scans at the hospital is 1-3 months depending on the scan involved.
