Kathleen O'Meara (Labour)

I thank the Minister of State. I will be happy to supply the details in question to him. I note that 150 patients are waiting for outpatient appointments at Croom Orthopaedic Hospital. I am sure the Minister of State will agree that is an extraordinary situation. When is it likely that the system of referring the patients in question to Cork will start? The Minister of State's response did not indicate when that will happen.
