Question 127: To ask the Minister for Health and Children the action being taken to address the surgical waiting list at the Midland Regional Hospital, Tullamore, County Offaly; the reason it has become the fourth longest list here; the way she will ensure that this issue is addressed; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

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 issue raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
