Questions (207)

Richard Boyd Barrett

Question:

207. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Health if he will ensure that a person (details supplied) has an operation. [3322/17]

Written answers

Minister for Health

Under 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.

As this is a service issue, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly.
