The management of waiting lists generally is a matter for the Health Service Executive and the individual hospitals concerned. Therefore, the executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular issue raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to arrange to have the case investigated and to reply directly to the Deputy.
