605. To ask the Minister for Health why a person's (details supplied) referral from a general practitioner for an appointment in a hospital was rejected; and if the person can be granted an appointment at the hospital as soon as possible. [21225/16]

The Dublin Dental Hospital is governed by a Board, established by Statutory Instrument (S.I. No. 129 of 1963) under the Health (Corporate Bodies) Act 1961. The Minister has no role in the setting of appointments by Dublin Dental Hospital. I understand that the Hospital has contacted the patient on this matter.
