Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 25 February 2026
250. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Health when a person (details supplied) in County Clare will receive an urgent audiology appointment at Ennis General Hospital; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15345/26]
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.
