Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 June 2017
1152. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Health when a person (details supplied) in County Clare will have further medical treatment in University Hospital Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27048/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the Health Act 2004, the Health Service Executive (HSE) is required to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. Section 6 of the HSE Governance Act 2013 bars the Minister for Health from directing the HSE to provide a treatment or a personal service to any individual or to confer eligibility on any individual.
In relation to this particular query, as this is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly.
