Question:133. Deputy Colm Keaveney asked the Minister for Health when a person (details supplied) in County Galway will receive an appointment for eye cataract surgery; the reason the person has so far had three appointments scheduled, cancelled and re-scheduled; the guarantee that will be provided that the latest appointment, re-scheduled for 2016, will not be cancelled yet again; the reason this person has been forced to suffer the indignity of having been offered this procedure three times in the private sector with immediate scheduling by the same consultant whose appointments have been cancelled in the public sector three times, at a cost in excess of €3000, which sum this person has no access to; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
