James Reilly

Ceist:

399 Deputy James Reilly asked the Minister for Health and Children if she will make additional resources available for cytology services at the Rotunda Hospital, taking into account the closure of cytology services in some hospitals and the resultant additional workload experienced in the Rotunda Hospital, where smear tests have gone from four to six weeks to a longer period of eight to nine weeks, and longer if the test result is abnormal; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The 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. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to respond directly to the Deputy in relation to the matter raised.
