Questions (739)

Paul Lawless

Question:

739. Deputy Paul Lawless asked the Minister for Health whether an assessment has been carried out at Mayo University Hospital regarding the routine taking of blood samples at the point of triage in the emergency department; whether it is estimated that having blood results available at the patient's first consultation with a doctor could reduce waiting times and the need for multiple medical reviews; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to the deputy directly.
