3686. Deputy Shane Moynihan asked the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No.2086 of 9 June 2026, regarding reimbursement applications under the Cross-Border Directive, for an update on the current average processing time for such applications; the average time from receipt of a completed application to payment of reimbursement; whether processing and payment times have improved since the July response; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [62251/26]

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