Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 November 2023
501. Deputy Thomas Gould asked the Minister for Health whether CRT geriatricians were considered as part of the HSE team when involved with care in nursing home (details supplied) in Q1 2021; and whether an explanation was given for delay in reporting of deaths to the broader HSE team at that time. [50648/23]
View answerAs this is an operational 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, 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.
