Ceisteanna (130)

Maureen O'Sullivan

Ceist:

130. Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Health the reason the Health Service Executive did not accept the advice of social workers and doctors in relation to a person (details supplied) with a long-term brain injury who was referred to an Alzheimer's unit which it is felt will have no impact on their recovery and rehabilitation, is against the advice of doctors and social workers and where it appears the HSE's decision was not based on that specific individual's need. [42332/14]

As the Deputy's question relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy. If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, she can contact my Private Office and they will follow the matter up with the HSE.
