Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 October 2025
610. Deputy Marie Sherlock asked the Minister for Health when a person (details supplied) will receive an appointment for an auditory brainstem response hearing test which the person was referred for in June 2023, or a timeframe as to they can expect to receive this appointment for this essential hearing test; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

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. The Minister for Health is prohibited 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.
