Question:

301 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Health and Children when the mammogram machine, which is out of order at Beaumont Hospital, will be replaced; the arrangements made for patients needing this machine while waiting for the replacement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14287/03]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Services at Beaumont Hospital are provided under an arrangement with the Eastern Regional Health Authority and my Department has, therefore, asked the regional chief executive of the authority to examine this issue and to reply to the Deputy directly.
