3549. Deputy Emer Currie asked the Minister for Health whether there is any plan to mandate block-booked, same-day scheduling for post-treatment patients when combined imaging (like a mammogram and ultrasound) is clinically required, rather than recovering patients travelling back and forth on separate days; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [61640/26]

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