Question 166: To ask the Minister for Health and Children when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will be called to hospital in Galway for surgical procedures, in view of the fact that they have been given dates for surgery and they have been cancelled; the number of times dates have issued to this person for admission; the reason they are being cancelled; when can they expect to be called as the delay is causing this person unnecessary distress and worry.

Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services was assigned to the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004, and funding for all health services has been provided as part of its overall Vote. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular case raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this case investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
