1570. To ask the Minister for Health if he will expedite a medical appointment for a person (details supplied); the reason for the delay; and if his attention has been drawn to the fact that this person was first referred for this appointment two years ago [28966/17]

Under the Health Act 2004, the Health Service Executive (HSE) is required to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. Section 6 of the HSE Governance Act 2013 bars the Minister for Health from directing the HSE to provide a treatment or a personal service to any individual or to confer eligibility on any individual.
In relation to this particular query, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly.
