Vol. 378 No. 3

Written Answers. - Heart Surgery Waiting List.

119.

asked the Minister for Health the present position regarding waiting lists for heart surgery on patients in the Mater Hospital, Dublin 1; and when an operation will be performed on a person (details supplied) in Dublin 11.

I have had inquiries made of the hospital authorities concerned and I understand that there are 122 people on the waiting list for heart surgery.

The person referred to is not on the waiting list. I understand that she is to see a consultant this week and any decision to have her placed on the waiting list will be based on the consultant's medical opinion.
