Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 November 2023
652. Deputy Martin Browne asked the Minister for Health to provide an account of developments in mental health services in County Tipperary in 2023 in comparison with the existing services in 2022; the planned developments for 2024; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [52508/23]
View answerAs this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy 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.
