Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 October 2004
116 Mr. Ring asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the reason incorrect information was sent out in reply to Question No. 848 of 29 September 2004 by the Western Health Board relating to a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; and if she will investigate this matter in full. [26419/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe provision of hospital services for people resident in County Mayo is the responsibility of the Western Health Board. I understand from the board that the appointment for the person in question had to be deferred due to unanticipated leave by the consultant ophthalmic surgeon and a letter was issued to the person on 7 October 2004 with a new appointment date of 18 November 2004. The board regrets any distress caused to the person due to this rescheduling.
