Ceisteanna (723)

Mary Lou McDonald

Ceist:

723. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Health the reason that a child (details supplied) under the care of Portiuncula University Hospitals cardiology and paediatric teams is now classed as a new patient following their automatic transfer to adult services in the same hospital following their sixteenth birthday; if his attention has been drawn to reports that following this transfer, their care has effectively ceased despite their immediate and ongoing clinical need including the twice yearly appointments with their consultant to monitor their symptoms and medication, and that the wait time for their next appointment will be in excess of three years.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly, as soon as possible.
