Limerick East): Inquiries were made of the Western Health Board in this matter and I am informed by the board that it has no record of a requisition for a scan in respect of this patient.
The board has suggested that the patient's general practitioner should refer her to a consultant staffed out-patient clinic at Mayo General Hospital where the reviewing consultant can establish if a scan is necessary and requisition it accordingly.
