Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 January 2024
598. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Health whether the former Baggot Street Hospital could be used as a State owned nursing home for elderly people in the vicinity; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2544/24]
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
