147. Deputy Bobby Aylward asked the Minister for Health the steps that he has taken to alleviate waiting lists for scans at a hospital (details supplied) for women with a family history of ovarian cancer in particular; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22812/18]
View answerThe HSE National Cancer Control Programme have advised that there is a national ovarian cancer GP referral guideline in place (a copy has been provided to the Deputy). This referral guideline includes a pathway to urgent ultrasound, if required.
With regard to the particular hospital raised in the Deputy's question, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly.
