207 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will be called for a prostate operation in view of the fact he has had his scheduled appointment for surgery cancelled approximately five times and he has been on the waiting list since February 1999.

211 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will be called for a prostate oper ation in view of the fact that several previously scheduled dates for surgery were cancelled by the hospital in Galway. [26615/99]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 207 and 211 together.
The provision of medical treatment to eligible persons in County Mayo in this instance is the 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.
