Proinsias De Rossa

Ceist:

126 Proinsias De Rossa asked the Minister for Health when a person (details supplied) in Dublin 11 will be admitted to St. Vincent's Hospital for a bone graft in view of the fact that she is in extreme pain and an appointment for 13 June 1991 was cancelled as there was no bed available.

Minister for Health (Dr. O'Hanlon)

I understand from St. Vincent's Hospital that there is no record of this patient having been due for admission on 13 June 1991. The hospital have indicated, however, that the patient has been given an admission date for tomorrow, 19 June 1991.
