124. To ask the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to a recent case in which it took eight hours for a doctor on call to arrive to the home of an 82 year old person from Kilcoole, County Wicklow, on 18 July 2014; the average time for a doctor on call call-out to arrive, in north Wicklow; and if he is satisfied that suitable protocols are in place in order that doctors on call can respond to patients out of hours in the region.

As this is a service matter, it has been referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
