Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 September 2014
1111. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Health if he will expedite a medical appointment in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34618/14]
View answerThe scheduling of appointments for patients is a matter for the hospital to which the patient has been referred. Should a patient's general practitioner consider that the patient's condition warrants an earlier appointment, he or she would be in the best position to take the matter up with the consultant and hospital involved. In relation to the specific case raised by the Deputy, as this is a service matter it has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
