287 Mr. Higgins (Mayo) asked the Minister for Health and Children when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo who has cancer will have her surgery performed at University College Hospital, Galway. [27209/98]
The provision of medical treatment to eligible persons in County Mayo, in this instance, is the statutory responsibility of the Western Health Board. I have asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate the position in relation to this case and to reply to the Deputy directly.
