Vol. 498 No. 1
232 Mr. Deasy asked the Minister for Health and Children if the case of a person (details supplied) in County Waterford who is awaiting a hip replacement operation will be examined in view of the overall health situation within the household. [26331/98]
The provision of medical treatment to eligible persons in County Waterford in this instance is the statutory responsibility of the South-Eastern Health Board. I have asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate the position in relation to this case and to reply to the Deputy directly.
