Ceisteanna (737)

Paul Lawless

Ceist:

737. Deputy Paul Lawless asked the Minister for Health whether an assessment has been carried out at Mayo University Hospital regarding the potential for blood samples to be taken at triage in the emergency department in advance of medical assessment; the estimated impact such a process could have on patient waiting times; and whether consideration is being given to implementing such a measure as a cost neutral service improvement.

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