140. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Health to examine the capacity deficits at Naas General Hospital (details supplied) and what immediate plans are in place to meet the significant increases in demand for the services of the hospital. [4327/24]
View answerAs this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, 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 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.
