Willie Penrose

Ceist:

386 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Health and Children if a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath can be immediately admitted to Tullamore General Hospital to have a hip operation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11841/02]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

Responsibility for the provision of health services to persons living in County Westmeath rests with the Midland Health Board. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive officer to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
