Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 November 2023
1208. Deputy Sorca Clarke asked the Minister for Health when an appointment will be issued to a person (details supplied) regarding their confirmed urgent referral to the urology clinic in UCG Hospital in Dec 2022. [47961/23]
View answerUnder the Health Act 2004, the Health Service Executive (HSE) is required to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. Section 6 of the HSE Governance Act 2013 bars the Minister for Health from directing the HSE to provide a treatment or a personal service to any individual or to confer eligibility on any individual.
In relation to the particular query raised, as this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
