Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 November 2023
498. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 323 of November 2003 in the case of a person (details supplied), if my previous question constitutes a request for a review/reversal of the previous decision; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53160/23]
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 PQ 49219/23, I refer to HSE’s direct response to the Deputy on 13th November 2023 which states that the person can ask for an appeal of the decision on their eligibility within four weeks of the date of correspondence from HSE. The reply also includes relevant contact details for the Appeals Office, as set out below, where an individual wishes to request such an appeal.
