Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 December 2025
941. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Health if she will review matters raised in correspondence (details supplied); if they will be prioritised considering the ongoing decline in their condition; if she will clarify the person's position on the waiting list; the expected timeline for treatment; 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 health issues raised, as this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
