Ceist:61 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Health the steps, if any, he will take to ensure that a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath is called for this operation without any further delay in view of the fact that she is an old age pensioner, is in urgent need of a hip replacement operation and is on the waiting list of the Midland Health Board for surgical intervention for a considerable period; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
