139 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for Health and Children the length of time it is taking on average to receive results of cervical smear tests; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29443/01]
The information sought by the Deputy in respect of all health boards is not readily available. My Department has, therefore, written to the chief executive officers of the health boards seeking details of the waiting times for the results of cervical smear tests. This information will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
