Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 16 December 2009
142 Deputy James Reilly asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of day case and inpatient procedures cancelled per hospital in 2008 and for the full year in 2009; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [47288/09]
View answerThe Health Service Executive is responsible for the monitoring of elective activity in each acute hospital. This includes the collection and publication of performance data on acute hospitals nationally — including information on cancellation rates. I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to the Executive for direct reply.
