Vol. 404 No. 8

Written Answers. - Waiting List for Tonsillectomy.

Eamon Gilmore

Ceist:

49 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Health if he will outline, in respect of each health board area, the number of public patients who are on waiting lists for tonsillectomies; the number of these who are children; the longest length of time which patients are on these lists; and the measures he intends to take to reduce these lists.

The information requested is not available on a routine basis to my Department.

I have asked the agencies concerned to let me have the information which I will forward to the Deputy as soon as possible.
