Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 23 February 2022
241. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Health when a person (details supplied) will receive an appointment for an operation; and if the procedure will be carried out in 2022; if so, in which quarter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10332/22]
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 the particular query raised, as this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
