Amharc ar fhreagra1225. Deputy John Brassil asked the Minister for Health if he will provide funding to Cork University Hospital to allow for additional colorectal surgeons as there are a very limited number of such surgeons at present in the Cork and Kerry region and as a result there is a significant waiting list for related procedures in the region; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25306/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 1224 and 1225 together.
With regard to the specific queries raised by the Deputy, as these are service matters, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly.
