Question 188: To ask the Minister for Health and Children, further to Parliamentary Question No. 336 of 16 September 2009, if she will fulfil the commitment made to a person (details supplied) in County Limerick; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that even though an appointment for 26 November 2009 in a hospital was arranged for them under the National Treatment Purchase Fund scheme, the NTPF has informed the person that no new case authorisation numbers are being issued and the surgery is being deferred; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I have been advised by the NTPF that this person's case is being processed at present. The Fund envisages that the private hospital concerned will be in contact with the patient during the coming weeks to arrange the treatment.
