Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 May 2022
694. Deputy Joan Collins asked the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 112 of 19 October 2021, when a date will be set for the operation which is urgently required by this person. [24464/22]
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.
