Written answers

Minister for Health and Children (Deputy Mary Harney)

I have been advised by the National Treatment Purchase Fund that this patient has been referred and the relevant consultants will be meeting shortly to discuss the case and agree a date for surgery. The NTPF regrets any lack of clarity over the scheduling of surgery for this patient.
