Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 January 2024
1578. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Health the number of people awaiting appointments to secure a CT scan at Cavan Hospital; the number awaiting appointments to secure an MRI scan at Cavan Hospital; the average waiting time in each instance, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [57011/23]
View answerAs this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
As the Deputy may be aware, management and administrative grade staff in the Fórsa union in the HSE commenced industrial action on Friday 6th October. As a consequence of this industrial action, members in these grades are not engaging with political forums or processes. As a result, the question asked by the Deputy may be delayed in receiving a response directly from the HSE.
