Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 September 2004
748 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Health and Children further to Parliamentary Question No. 259 of 25 May 2004 when cyclodiode treatment was introduced to the centres in Galway, Waterford, Mater (Dublin) and Victoria Eye and Ear (Dublin); the current success rate of this treatment in each centre for the control of glaucoma; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21381/04]
View answerServices at the Mater Hospital and the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital are provided under an arrangement with the Eastern Regional Health Authority, ERHA, while responsibility for the provision of services at University College Hospital, Galway, and Waterford Regional Hospital rests with the Western Health Board and the South Eastern Health Board, respectively. My Department has, therefore, requested the regional chief executive officer of the ERHA and the chief executive officers of both health boards to investigate the matters raised and reply to the Deputy directly.
