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.

It is important to note that I am precluded under Section 6 of the Health Service Executive Governance Act 2013 from directing the HSE to provide any treatment or service to an individual.
