Written Answers. - Hospital Waiting Lists.
I understand from Cappagh Orthopaedic Hospital that the person in question was placed on the orthopaedic waiting list on 9 October 1997 under the care of Mr. Paraic Murray, consultant orthopaedic surgeon for a total hip replacement. The hospital expect that this person should be called for surgery within the next four weeks.
