Vol. 508 No. 3

Written Answers - Hospital Waiting Lists.

Gay Mitchell

Ceist:

214 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children if a person (details supplied) in Dublin 12 will be admitted to hospital for surgery. [18951/99]

The Deputy may wish to note that the scheduling of admission to hospital is a matter for the consultant concerned and is determined solely on the basis of medical priority. In this case, the provision of treatment, is the responsibility, in the first instance, for the Adelaide and Meath Hospital, Dublin, incorporating the National Children's Hospital. I have therefore asked the chief executive officer of the hospital to investigate this matter and reply directly to the Deputy.
