Gay Mitchell

Ceist:

391 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children when a person (details supplied) in Dublin 12 will be transferred from Tallaght Hospital to Beaumont Hospital for a neurosurgical operation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1151/00]

The course of treatment and the scheduling of 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 Beaumont 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.
