Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 December 2025
953. Deputy Donna McGettigan asked the Minister for Health the reason a person (details supplied) has not received the spinal surgery they require; if she will ensure they are treated promptly; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [71691/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraUnder 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.
