214 Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Health and Children when a person will be facilitated (details supplied) in County Clare. [35425/10]
View answerAs this is a service matter, it has been referred to the HSE for direct reply. However, I would like to advise the Deputy that the scheduling of patients for hospital treatment is a matter for the hospital 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 hospital.
