Seamus Brennan
Question:176 Mr. S. Brennan asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 14 with terminal cancer, who was diagnosed following tests in early October 1996, but who was not advised of the results until 13 December 1996; if his attention has further been drawn to efforts over the past month to secure an urgent CAT scan examination for this person as a public patient, as requested by her consultant, in order to assess the cause of medical complications; his views on whether a delay of this magnitude is acceptable in the public health system; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
