Question 250: To ask the Minister for Health and Children the catchment area for St. James's Hospital; the reason a person living in Chapelizod is unable to get an appointment with a consultant at St. James's even if, geographically, it is the closest hospital to their home; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services is a matter for the Health Service Executive and funding for all health services has been provided as part of its overall Vote. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular issue raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
