I understand that the Health Service Executive has responded to the Deputy following his parliamentary question of 6 October 2009 which related to the same person. The HSE has outlined the current position regarding the waiting time criteria set by the National Treatment Purchase Fund for patients on the AMNCH waiting list. If the person's condition has deteriorated significantly, he should contact his general practitioner who may decide to request the consultant to reassess the case to determine if more immediate attention is warranted.
