Vol. 549 No. 1
176 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of patients who have received medical or surgical treatment outside the country in the past four years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6111/02]
The information requested by the Deputy is not routinely collected by my Department. I have, therefore, asked the regional chief executive of the Eastern Regional Health Authority and the chief executive officers of the health boards to collate the information requested by the Deputy and to forward it to him directly.
