Question 171: To ask the Minister for Health and Children when surgery will be carried out on a person (details supplied) at Tallaght Hospital, Dublin 24; if arrangements will be made for the release of this patient's file to the National Treatment Purchase Fund, in order that the necessary intervention will be expedited; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I regret that due to industrial action in the HSE I am not in a position to arrange a substantive response to this Question. Subject to the resources available to it, the National Treatment Purchase Fund arranges treatment for patients who have been on a surgical waiting list for more than three months. It is open to the person in question or anyone acting on their behalf to contact the Fund directly in relation to their case.
