Denis Naughten

Question:

259 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Health and Children if cyclodiode treatment is available in hospitals; the locations at which the procedure is performed; the frequency of this procedure being performed at each facility; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15202/04]

Written answers

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

The information requested by the Deputy is not routinely collected by my Department. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive officer of each health board and the regional chief executive of the Eastern Regional Health Authority to investigate the position in relation to the matters raised by the Deputy and to respond to him directly.
