I understand that the HSE responded to the Deputy in relation to this case on the 15th April. At that time the HSE advised that there was no record of this patient waiting for treatment at the Mater Hospital. I can also confirm that this patient is currently not on an NTPF waiting list. As this is a service matter, it has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
