Ceisteanna (637)

Billy Timmins

Ceist:

637. Deputy Billy Timmins asked the Minister for Health if an eight-year waiting time for access to a dermatologist in counties Carlow and Waterford is the exception rather than the rule; his plans to reduce such times; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14894/15]

Minister for Health

As this is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly. If he has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days he should contact my Private Office and my officials will follow the matter up.
