Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 December 2023
253. Deputy Mark Ward asked the Minister for Health the estimated cost of establishing InterSystems TrakCare at the National Forensic Mental Health Service; the capabilities of this system; if this system will be rolled out across other mental health services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [55753/23]
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.
