  303.  Mr. G. Mitchell  Information on Gay Mitchell  Zoom on Gay Mitchell   asked the Minister for Health and Children  Information on Micheál Martin  Zoom on Micheál Martin   if he will make a statement on a newspaper report, which claims that epilepsy waiting times are set to double (details supplied). [7391/01]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin): Information on Micheál Martin  Zoom on Micheál Martin  The newspaper report referred to by the Deputy relates to services provided at Beaumont Hospital and suggests that waiting times there for epilepsy treatments may double due to the retirement of one of the two consultant neurophysiologists. Service issues relating to Beaumont Hospital are a matter for the Eastern Regional Health Authority in the first instance. I have, therefore, asked the regional chief executive of the authority to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and respond to him directly.
