Richard Bruton

Question:

249 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Health and Children if his attention has been drawn to the long waiting time for a kidney scope, which is itself only a diagnostic tool; and the plans, if any, he has to deal with this problem. [15049/99]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Cowen)

My Department does not collect data on waiting lists or waiting times for kidney scopes. If the Deputy wishes to supply further details regarding this issue, I will have it examined.
