1692. Deputy Mark Ward asked the Minister for Health the funding allocated to Traveller primary health care projects in each of the years 2019 to date; for breakdown of funding given to peer-led Traveller-specific mental health supports for the same time period; 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 directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
As the Deputy may be aware, management and administrative grade staff in the Fórsa union in the HSE commenced industrial action on Friday, 6 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.
