Ceisteanna (515)

Luke 'Ming' Flanagan

Ceist:

515. Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan asked the Minister for Health the reason the Health Service Executive has refused to fund art assist pumps which have been proven to decrease the rate of amputation and thus in the longer run save the State Exchequer; if he will enquire into the case of a person (details supplied) in County Roscommon; if he will direct the HSE to examine the provision of an art assist pump in this case as this person is not in a position to fund such a device from their own resources [41339/12]

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has been in contact with the Regional Director of Operations HSE, who is dealing with the case in a sensitive manner.
