Vol. 505 No. 1

Written Answers. - Hospital Waiting Lists.

Alan Shatter

Question:

158 Mr. Shatter asked the Minister for Health and Children the hospital waiting lists at 31 March 1999 compared with 31 March 1997 in respect of each hospital and each speciality in each hospital; and the total number on the waiting list in respect of 31 March 1999 in comparison with 31 March 1997 in relation to each speciality and each hospital. [13072/99]

My Department is collating the waiting list figures for the end of March 1999 and I hope to be in a position to supply the information the Deputy is looking for shortly.

Gay Mitchell

Question:

159 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children if the case will be examined for a person (details supplied) in Dublin 12 who had a hip replaced in October 1998, requires a further operation and has been informed that the hospital is booked up. [13085/99]

The provision of orthopaedic treatment in this case is the responsibility, in the first instance, of the Adelaide and Meath Hospitals, Dublin, incorporating the National Children's Hospital. I have therefore, asked the chief executive officer of the hospital to investigate the matter and reply directly to the Deputy.

Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person (details supplied) in Dublin 12 has been waiting for admission to hospital since 1996 and, following a recent visit to the hospital, is still no clearer on when she might be admitted; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13086/99]

The provision of orthopaedic treatment in this case is a matter, in the first instance, for the Adelaide and Meath Hospital, Dublin, incorporating the National Children's Hospital. I have therefore, asked the chief executive officer of the hospital to investigate this matter and reply directly to the Deputy.
