View answerFunding for all service developments, including additional posts, is considered in the first instance as part of the annual estimates process, in the context of overall prioritisation of available funding. This is currently ongoing for 2022.
I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, with an update on the paediatric endocrinology service at CHI at Temple Street.
