Vol. 552 No. 2

Written Answers. - Hospital Waiting Lists.

John McGuinness

Ceist:

82 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason an MRI scan has not been provided for a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; the reason he has been on the waiting list since 1985 at Beaumont Hospital; the reason an appointment was cancelled some time ago and not rescheduled; the reason an appointment was promised in January 2002, but not set; and if he will arrange the appointment in view of the person's worsening medical circumstances and the urgency of the case as outlined by his general practitioner (details supplied). [12179/02]

The provision of services for persons living in County Kilkenny rests with the South Eastern Health Board in the first instance. My Department has asked the chief executive officer at the board to investigate the issues raised by the Deputy and reply to him directly.
