You will appreciate that is contrary to the Health Service Executive (Governance) Act 2013 for me to make a direction to the HSE, or a hospital, to benefit or prioritise any individual person or patient. In relation to the particular patient query raised by you, 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.
