Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 January 2024
324. Deputy Mark Ward asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the funding for St. John of God Community Services in each year since 2019; the breakdown of funding per service provided by the service; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3423/24]
View answerAs this question refers to service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
The Deputy will be aware that due to the ongoing industrial action by FORSA administrative and management grade staff in the HSE (which commenced on 6 October, 2023), delays remain in receiving answers to parliamentary questions and ministerial representations.
The HSE has been engaged with Fórsa through the auspices of the WRC in an effort to resolve the dispute but a resolution has not been reached as of yet.
