Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Health the reason some surgeons utilising the Mid-Western Regional Hospital, Ennis, County Clare, only use 20% or, in some cases, even less of their allocated operating theatre time; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 382 and 383 together.
As these are service matters, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and my officials will follow the matter up with them.
