Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 5 December 2007
132 Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person (details supplied) in County Mayo is not being called for treatment at St. Luke’s Hospital, Dublin in view of the urgent nature of their illness; if she will have this matter investigated thoroughly; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerOperational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services is a matter for the Health Service Executive and funding for all health services has been provided as part of its overall vote. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular question raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy in relation to the matter raised.
