281. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Health if he will address the recruitment shortfall in the medical science profession; the reason for staff shortages in hospital laboratories; and if he has had engagement with the HSE and CORU on this matter. [22876/20]
View answerMy officials recently met with the Medical Laboratory Scientists Association (MLSA) and the HSE in relation to a range of issues including on the area of recruitment. We have not engaged with CORU specifically on this issue. I have also asked the HSE to reply directly to the Deputy in relation to this question.
