527 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will be called for an orthopaedic assessment for a hip replacement operation. [18279/99]
The provision of medical treatment to eligible persons in County Mayo in this instance is the statutory responsibility of the Western 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.
