386. To ask the Minister for Health if he is aware of the policy of transferring children who have cancer from Our Lady's Children's Hospital in Crumlin in Dublin 12 to St. James's Hospital in Dublin 8 when they reach 16 years of age; and if a new policy will be considered that would not cause as much upheaval and at times distress for the families involved.

The Deputy's questions relate to service delivery matters and accordingly I have asked the HSE to respond directly to him.

If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
