Question 398: To ask the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the Health Service Executive appeals office is experiencing a significantly increased volume of appeals; if his further attention has been drawn to the fact that the appeals office is advising applicants not to telephone the office because of the volume of work; if he intends to redeploy staff to assist in this office; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I understand the Deputy is referring to the appeals office in Walkinstown, Dublin 12. As this is a service matter, it has been referred to the HSE for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
