Written Answers. - Hospital Waiting Lists.
I will require more detailed information concerning this patient to enable me to complete inquiries in this case. If the Deputy can indicate what hospital is involved, I will pursue the matter further. However, as in other such cases, the timing of a patient's admission to hospital is a clinical matter for decision by a patient's consultant and the Deputy should, in the first instance, contact the relevant hospital authorities.
