Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 October 2022
398. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Health when a child (details supplied) will be provided with a date for surgery; and if the surgery will go ahead as soon as possible given the delays experienced and the timeline provided for the best outcome. [49380/22]
View answerUnder 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.
