To ask the Minister for Health whether it is the case that a person (details supplied) in County Louth was contacted by the Health Service Executive and told to cancel an appointment they had made in London for a CT scan as a result of a change in procedures for issuing an E112, that they were told they would have to see a consultant here before having the CT scan in London; if the person will have to go through this procedure for every appointment; the extent of the delays caused to their treatment as a result of these new procedures; his views on whether requiring a person to seek an appointment with a consultant here through the public system in advance of every appointment in London will cause inordinate delays in their treatment; if he is satisfied the correct procedures were followed in this case; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy.
