Vol. 511 No. 6
250 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Health and Children when a person (details supplied) will be called for a hip operation in view of the fact her condition has deteriorated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24849/99]
The provision of medical treatment in this case is the statutory responsibility of the North-Western Health Board in the first instance. I have asked the chief executive officer of the board to investigate this case and to reply to the Deputy directly as a matter of urgency.
