Vol. 503 No. 3
335 Mr. Haughey asked the Minister for Health and Children when a person (details supplied) in Dublin 17 will have a triple heart by-pass operation carried out in the Mater Hospital, Dublin 1; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9640/99]
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 the Mater 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.
