1300. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Health the position regarding surgery in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37010/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe National Waiting List Management Policy, A standardised approach to managing scheduled care treatment for in-patient, day case and planned procedures, January 2013, has been developed to ensure that all administrative, managerial and clinical staff follow an agreed national minimum standard for the management and administration of waiting lists for scheduled care. This policy, which has been adopted by the HSE, sets out the processes that hospitals are to implement to manage waiting lists.
In relation to this particular query raised by the Deputy, I have been informed by the HSE that they replied to the Deputy on the 25th June in relation to this matter. However, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond again to the Deputy in this matter.
