809. To ask the Minister for Health if enquiries will be made in relation to the case of a person (details supplied) whose operation was cancelled due to the fact that they were placed on the wrong list and will now have to wait a further nine months for the procedure; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

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 the particular query raised, as this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
