Written Answers. - Hospital Waiting Lists.

Mary O'Rourke

Question:

73 Mrs. O'Rourke asked the Minister for Health the reason for the delay being experienced by a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath who is awaiting an operation; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that this person has lost two job opportunities through this delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21482/96]

Minister for Health (Mr. Noonan,

Limerick East): I have had inquiries made in this matter. However, on the basis of the details supplied it has not proved possible to provide the information sought by the Deputy. If the Deputy can furnish details of the hospital and the consultant involved I will be in a position to pursue this matter further.
