I wish to convey my sincere gratitude to front line workers in relation to their continuing efforts in the delivery of health services during this very challenging pandemic period.
I note that this important matter as it relates to the health service was recently before the Labour Court, and the resulting recommendation is being given careful consideration by Health Service Management.
In the meantime, I wish to reassure the Deputy that the Department and the HSE acknowledge frontline workers' critical and significant response to this pandemic, and are working to appropriately recognise those efforts.
