Jack Wall

Ceist:

122 Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Health and Children the position regarding a date for a hip replacement operation in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare in view of the fact that two earlier appointments have been cancelled; if this person is entitled to have the operation carried out under the National Treatment Purchase Fund scheme; if so, if this aspect will be investigated and be favourably resolved in view of the fact that the applicant has serious problems in accessing any sector of their home or having a normal social life outside of it, due to their condition; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply. The National Treatment Purchase Fund arranges treatment for patients who have been on a surgical waiting list for more than three months. It is open to the person in question or anyone acting on their behalf to contact the Fund directly in relation to their case.
