Written Answers. - Hospital Waiting Lists.
The Deputy will appreciate that the scheduling of hospital appointments is a matter for the relevant hospital concerned based upon clinical priority. I have, therefore, asked the chief executive officer at the South-Eastern Health Board, who has responsibility for the provision of hospital services in the case to which the Deputy is referring, to look into the matter and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
