Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 23 June 2010
115 Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if a surgical procedure will be arranged as a matter of urgency in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny at Waterford Regional Hospital through the National Treatment Purchase Fund; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26952/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs this is a service matter, it has been referred to the HSE for direct reply. As the Deputy may be aware, subject to the resources available to it, 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.
