Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 September 2008
542 Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of patients awaiting outpatient services at a hospital (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30596/08]
View answerThe management of waiting lists generally, including 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 issue raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the issue investigated and to reply directly to the Deputy.
