Question:

446. Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 440 of 20 January 2015, the additional services that are now being provided in respect of this child with special needs, in view of the time that has elapsed since the Health Service Executive was first asked to prioritise this case; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18171/15]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health

As the particular issue raised by the Deputy relates to an individual case, this is a service matter for the Health Service Executive. Accordingly, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy. 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.
