Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 February 2010
230 Deputy Seán Sherlock asked the Minister for Health and Children if an appointment will be expedited in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6168/10]
View answerThe scheduling of patients for hospital treatment is a matter for the consultant concerned in each case and is determined on the basis of clinical need. Should the patient's general practitioner consider that the patient's condition warrants an earlier appointment, he/she would be in the best position to take the matter up with the consultant involved.
