Michael Ring
Ceist:982 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will be given an appointment in Galway in relation to their need for a prostate operation, in view of the fact that their general practitioner has written twice seeking an appointment; and the reason this has not been dealt with in view of the fact that this person will be 80 years of age in December 2003.
