Question:213 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Health and Children if a person (details supplied) in County Sligo will be called for his operation in view of the length of time that he is on the waiting list and the extent of surgery required. [22968/97]
The provision of medical treatment to eligible persons in County Sligo is the statutory responsibility of the North-Western Health Board in the first instance. I have asked the chief executive officer of the North-Western Health Board to investigate the position in relation to this case and to reply to the Deputy directly as a matter of urgency.
