334. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Health if a person (details supplied) has been informed verbally and in writing that a consultant ENT surgeon left the region before finishing their on-call duties while both their absence and refusal to return placed a seriously ill child at risk; and the reason this alleged wrongdoing has not been investigated by the management or directorate of University Hospital Limerick regarding the departure, absence and behaviour of the on-call consultant ENT surgeon, which presented a risk in clinical situations and which has also been submitted onto Q-Pulse. [24954/19]

As this is a service issue, I have asked the HSE to reply to you directly.
