My Department has been given an assurance by the Health Service Executive that the living donor programme at Beaumont Hospital has not been suspended. The HSE has further advised that Beaumont Hospital has contacted donors to reassure them that the programme is on track and that donors and patients will continue to be prepared for surgery as soon as they are deemed clinically suitable.

My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the specific issue in relation to the scheduling of the next procedure investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
