Comment on this
I am conscious of the impact that the cancellation or postponement of procedures can have on patients and their families. The improvement of waiting times, and particularly waiting times experienced by children, remains a priority for myself and this Department.
As this is an operational matter relating to an individual case, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy, as soon as possible.
