Questions (286)

Pádraig O'Sullivan

Question:

286. Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Health the specific measures being taken to reduce waiting times for cancer patients to receive scan and blood test results, given that 92% of cancer patients surveyed by an organisation (details supplied) rated receiving results as soon as available as very important, and given that patients have described waiting three to four weeks for scan results as a form of torture; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
