The case raised by the Deputy has been the subject of extensive contact between my Department, members of the person's family and the patient's consultant at the Mater Hospital. In addition, I have been in touch with the United Kingdom's Secretary of State for Health and have been advised that the person concerned, who was previously on the transplant list at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle, is currently on the transplant list at Wythenshawe Hospital in Manchester awaiting a suitable donor. As the House will appreciate, patient selection for organ transplantation is a matter of clinical judgement and I have no function in the matter. Pending the availability of a suitable organ, decisions relating to the management of the patient's care is the responsibility of the relevant clinical personnel involved, both here in Ireland and in the UK.
