342 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will be assisted by the Health Service Executive in getting a new doctor under the GMS scheme particularly in view of their age and medical condition. [7618/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. This includes operational responsibility for the selection and recruitment of general practitioners to provide services under the General Medical Services Scheme. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to address this matter and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
