Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 November 2014
690. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Health the position regarding an appointment in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; when this person might be called; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41508/14]
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. As this is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
