Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 July 2008
294 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Health and Children the average waiting time for an appointment with each specialist located at University College Hospital Galway, Portiuncula, Mayo General, Roscommon County and Sligo General Hospitals; the corresponding figures for outpatient appointments; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25932/08]
View answerThe management of out-patient waiting lists is a matter for the Health Service Executive and the individual hospitals concerned. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular matters raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matters investigated and to reply directly to the Deputy.
