Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 May 2026
541. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Health if she will urgently review the case of a person (details supplied); if she will provide an update on the matter; if the appointment will be expedited given the circumstances; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35910/26]
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.
