I regret that due to industrial action I am not in a position to provide a substantive response to your Parliamentary Question. If this matter remains of continuing concern to you, however, I would invite you to raise it with me again in due course.

I regret that due to industrial action I am not in a position to provide a substantive response to your Parliamentary Question. The scheduling of patients for hospital treatment is a matter for the consultant concerned in each case and is determined on the basis of clinical need. However should the patient's general practitioner consider that her condition warrants an earlier appointment, he/she would be in the best position to take the matter up with the consultant involved.
