Limerick East): The patient concerned was assessed in the Adelaide Hospital on 12 June 1995 and is due to be admitted for surgery on 12 September 1995.
As the Deputy is aware, the scheduling of admission to hospital is a matter for the consultant concerned, each case being assessed to determine medical priority. Should the patient feel that his condition has deteriorated he should return to his general practitioner who is in the best position to emphasise the urgency of his case directly to the consultant.
