Question:

124 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Health and Children when it is anticipated that the pathology report of post mortem will be completed in relation to a deceased person (details supplied) in County Wexford; if the Government has set time limits for such procedures; if they are processed in date order; if not, the reason therefor; and if he will expedite this particular report so that internment can be carried out.

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the provision of pathology services in this case rests with the South-Eastern Health Board. Accordingly, my Department has requested the board's chief executive officer to investigate this case and reply directly to the Deputy.
