Ceist:

545. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to an anomalous service provision discrepancy between community heath organisations, CHOs, (details suppled); if he will consider providing a standardised list of items that each CHO must provide to ensure equitable service provision across the country; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Health

Under the Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical Goods) Act 2013, the HSE has statutory responsibility for the administration of the primary care schemes; therefore, the matter has been referred to the HSE for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
