Vol. 496 No. 3
281 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Health and Children when a person (details supplied) in County Kildare will obtain access to surgery in Beaumont hospital to correct an epileptic condition; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22735/98]
As the determination of in-patient appointments is a matter for the hospital authorities in the first instance, based on a clinical assessment of need, I have asked the chief executive officer of Beaumont Hospital to investigate the position regarding this patient. Given the particular circumstances of this case, I have requested that he reply to the Deputy directly as a matter of urgency.
