Limerick East): I propose to take Questions Nos. 147 and 159 together.

Inquiries were made from the Adelaide Hospital which has confirmed that the person concerned is on its waiting lists since 6 September 1996. At this stage the hospital is unable to provide an exact date for admission. However, should this person feel that her condition has deteriorated she should contact her general practitioner who could then highlight the urgency of her case to the consultant involved.
