Question 142: To ask the Minister for Health and Children the number of day case and inpatient procedures cancelled per hospital in 2008 and for the full year in 2009; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [47288/09]

The Health Service Executive is responsible for the monitoring of elective activity in each acute hospital. This includes the collection and publication of performance data on acute hospitals nationally - including information on cancellation rates. I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to the Executive for direct reply.

As this is a service issue, it has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
