Ceist:

180 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Health and Children if a person (details supplied) in County Sligo will be called for a hip operation in Sligo General Hospital in view of the fact that their condition has deteriorated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30643/03]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

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