Question:

579. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Health if all nursing staff recruited as part of the most recent recruitment campaign to appoint personnel to provide in-home palliative care to children with complex needs in County Donegal, and that are currently on temporary contracts of employment, shall have their contracts automatically renewed prior to expiration or shall be offered a permanent position; the measures which will be put in place to ensure that service users do not experience any service disruption due to such contractual issues; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this question relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy.
