Ceist:

76 Mr. J. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Health the reason a person (details supplied) in County Cork has been kept waiting for over three years for a tonsils and adenoids operation; and if he will ensure that she will be looked after immediately.

Minister for Health (Dr. O'Connell)

I understand from inquiries made with the hospital authorities that the patient is expected to be called for surgery this month.
