As the Deputy's question relates to service matters I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy.

Question 221: To ask the Minister for Health the measures that will be taken to reduce the waiting list for provision of prosthesis and orthotics in Cork by the Health Service Executive, in view of the fact that 100 persons are currently on a waiting list in Cork with an average wait of nine to twelve months; the provision that will be made particularly for children and adolescents who have outgrown old prosthetic limbs and currently are without any prosthesis due to the HSE's limited budget for the supply of prosthesis and orthotics; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
