Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 February 2005
112 Mr. Neville asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the waiting list for a cardiologist consultation before being put on the waiting list for treatment at the Mid-West Regional Hospital, Dooradoyle. [2348/05]
View answerThe Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive, which was established on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive has the responsibility to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. This includes responsibility for the Mid-West Regional Hospital, Dooradoyle. Accordingly, my Department has requested the chief officer for the executive's mid-west area to investigate the matter raised and to reply directly to the Deputy.
