Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 February 2019
177. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Health if the HSE will be directed to act to resolve or otherwise reach a settlement with a person (details supplied) in view of the nature of the current situation the person finds themselves in; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10151/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy's question refers to legal proceedings between the HSE and the individual concerned it would be inappropriate for me to intervene. I have forwarded the question to the HSE asking them to reply directly to you. However, I understand that the HSE is currently engaging actively with Ms Canning's legal representatives in an effort to bring this matter to a conclusion. The HSE is conscious, given Ms Canning's health, of the need to bring this matter to a resolution in a timely manner.
