Question:

187 Dr. Upton asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she will examine the long delay in offering appointments with a neurologist at a hospital (details supplied); and if she will comment on a person’s position. [26676/04]

Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children (Ms Harney)

Services at St. James's Hospital are provided under an arrangement with the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has therefore asked the regional chief executive of the authority to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to her directly.
