Máire Hoctor (Tipperary North, Fianna Fail)

I am taking the Adjournment on behalf of my colleague, the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Mary Harney.

The Government is committed to the provision of high quality gynaecological services throughout the country, including in the Cork region. The gynaecology service in Cork University Hospital currently provides five gynaecology theatre slots. There were approximately 1,152 elective gynaecology procedures carried out in 2007.
