521. Deputy Brian Stanley asked the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 1136 of 19 May 2026, the medical criteria under which the HSE may assign a general practitioner to a patient on the basis of urgent medical need; the process by which such medical need is assessed and verified; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46636/26]

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