70 Dr. Cowley asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children her views on the situation whereby persons are waiting in excess of five years for a urology appointment; her further views on whether the establishment of a consultant urology unit at Mayo General Hospital is the only acceptable solution; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
