Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth further to Parliamentary Question No. 978 of 7 November 2023, what services the assessment of need administrative hub in CHO7 will carry out; if there is a difference in the level of services that exist in the assessment hubs established in CHO3, 6 and 9; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

As this question refers to service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible. As the Deputy may be aware, the industrial action that commenced on Friday 6 October, by management and administrative grades in Fórsa Trade Union in the HSE, will impact on the response times to Parliamentary Questions and Representations.
