Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 November 2010
95 Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Health and Children if a person (details supplied) is eligible for a procedure under the national treatment purchase fund; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [44454/10]
View answerAs this is a service matter it has been referred to the HSE for direct reply. Subject to the resources available to it and the overall waiting list situation in the hospital concerned, the National Treatment Purchase Fund may arrange treatment for patients who have been on a surgical waiting list for more than three months. It is open to the person in question or anyone acting on their behalf to contact the Fund directly in relation to their case.
