Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 September 2021
249. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Health the number of outpatient podiatry appointments delivered by hospital group in 2018, 2019 and 2020; the number of outpatient podiatry appointments delivered by hospital group to persons with diabetes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45561/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraI note that the issue raised by the Deputy has been resubmitted, as due the Cyber attack in May, I was unable to referrer the matter to the Heath Service Executive when it was originally submitted.
As I noted the particular query raised, concerning the number of outpatient podiatry appointments delivered by hospital group in 2018, 2019 and 2020; the number of outpatient podiatry appointments delivered by hospital group to persons with diabetes is a service matter, and I have now asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
