Question:

595. Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Health if a centre (details supplied) in County Leitrim that provides a vital addiction service to counties Sligo, Leitrim, Longford and Roscommon will be allowed to accept medical cards at its facility, as many persons who have sought treatment have had to be refused access due to this issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health

As this is a service matter, it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.

If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days he should contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
