Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 May 2004
294 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if an appointment and treatment will be expedited for a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny at Ardkeen Hospital, Waterford; if this person qualifies for and can be treated under the national treatment purchase fund; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13643/04]
View answerResponsibility for the provision of services for residents of County Kilkenny is, in the first instance, a matter for the South Eastern Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive officer of the South Eastern Health Board to investigate this case and to establish whether the patient qualifies for treatment by the national treatment purchase fund and to reply directly to the Deputy.
