Ceist:

161. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Health the reason a child (details supplied) in County Kildare, who has multiple medical issues, and requires urgent attention and intervention, is not being fast-tracked through the early intervention disability service in mid-Kildare, NDT; if an immediate appointment will be arranged for the child to assess what care and intervention is required; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Health

As the particular issue raised by the Deputy relates to an individual case, this is a service matter for the Health Service Executive. Accordingly, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
