360. To ask the Minister for Health the reason public hospitals have long waiting lists for urgent Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans, yet patients may avail of next day appointments on the same machine by paying privately; if he will review this policy, particularly where the equipment and staff are paid from public funds; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and my officials will follow the matter up.
