Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 December 2014
161. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Health when a person (details supplied) in County Laois will receive a day procedure in St. James's Hospital, Dublin 8; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48582/14]
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, as this is a service matter it has been referred to the HSE for direct reply. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and my officials will follow the matter up with them.
