Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 February 2015
233. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Health if an immediate appointment at Kilcreene Hospital, County Kilkenny, will be provided in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; and if physiotherapy will also be arranged at the hospital in view of their general practitioner deeming the request to be urgent. [5342/15]
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 particular query raised, 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 my officials will follow the matter up with them.
