PQ 244
316 Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the fact that patients availing of outpatient services at the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Dún Laoghaire who live outside the hospital’s catchment area have access to the hospital’s transportation services only one day a week, but can not be guaranteed appointments on that day and that when transportation is available a patient may have to wait up to several hours in order that all patients with appointments can be brought to or from the hospital at the same time, regardless of the length of time between each patient’s appointment; if she will take steps to address this problem in view of the hardship it is causing to these patients; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
