Question:

283 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children when a full and detailed reply will be received to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 278, 279 and 280 of 15 June 1999 and Questions Nos. 361, 362 and 363 of 2 November 1999 in relation to orthodontic procedures; and the reason the information on the orthopaedic waiting list for County Mayo is not available. [27051/99]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Cowen)

The provision of medical services 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 matter and to reply to the Deputy directly.
