296 Mr. Fleming asked the Minister for Health and Children when a person (details supplied) in County Laois, who is on the priority waiting list for cardiac surgery in Our Lady's Hospital, Crumlin, will have the required surgery in view of the recent deterioration in his health and the fact that he now suffers from epilepsy. [9037/00]
301 Mr. Moloney asked the Minister for Health and Children when a person (details supplied) will be admitted to Crumlin Hospital for heart surgery. [9042/00]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 289, 296 and 301 together.
The responsibility for the provision of services at Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin is a matter for the Eastern Regional Health Authority in the first instance. My Department has asked the chief executive officer of the authority to investigate the matter raised by the Deputies and to reply directly to them as a matter of urgency.
