I presume the Deputy is referring to the number of elective admissions by specialty to the above hospitals during the period in question and in this regard I have had inquiries made of the relevant agencies. The information which I have been furnished with is as follows:

Question:

230 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of cancellations of elective surgery at each of the Dublin hospitals between June 1997 and June 1998. [20135/98]

Brian Cowen

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Cowen)

The information requested by the Deputy is not routinely collected by my Department. I have, however, asked the relevant hospitals to forward this information to my Department as a matter of urgency. Once this information is received and collated I will write to the Deputy.
