Health (Provision of General Practitioner Services) Bill 2011: Committee and Remaining Stages
12:00 pm
Colm Burke (Fine Gael)
The Minister might be able to clarify a concern I would like to raise about section 6. This section provides that the consent of the HSE must be acquired when someone requests to move to another location. I am concerned that the absence of a right of appeal in these circumstances means judicial review is the only avenue that is open to a person who does not receive the consent of the HSE. Perhaps provision has been made in an existing Act to deal with this issue, which has come to my attention.
