Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 December 2023

Deputy Matt Shanahan asked the Minister for Health when appointments will be made available for two children from the same family to be assessed for occupational therapy (details supplied); the procedure for them to receive an appointment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerAs this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
The Deputy may be aware, management and administrative grade staff in the Fórsa union in the HSE commenced industrial action on Friday 6th October. As a consequence of this industrial action, members in these grades are not engaging with political forums or processes. As a result, the question asked by the Deputy may be delayed in receiving a response directly from the HSE.
