The scheduling of appointments for patients is a matter for the hospital to which the patient has been referred. Should a patient's general practitioner consider that the patient's condition warrants an earlier appointment, he or she should take the matter up with the consultant and the hospital involved.

In relation to the specific case raised, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly.

If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and my officials will follow the matter up.
