Seán Crowe
Question:510 Mr. Crowe asked the Minister for Health and Children if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the scarcity of medical resources here requires some of those in need of heart and lung operations to travel to Britain for those operations; the resources made available to those patients, and their families, forced to do this to allow them to meet the cost of living in Britain for what might be a considerable time; the resources available for the care of the children of a lone parent forced to undergo such an operation; and his views on whether his Department is providing sufficient resources to meet those needs.
