446. To ask the Minister for Health the way a person who requires transport to a hospital appointment and cannot make contact with the Health Service Executive transport section may arrange transport; the reason there are such long delays in making contact by telephone with this section; if he will ensure that telephone calls are answered, or return telephone calls made, within a reasonable period of time, that is, 24 hours; 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 with them.
