Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 31 January 2024
139. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Health what measures are in place to assist and make progress on the current infrastructural delays being experienced at Naas General Hospital (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4326/24]
View answerAs the Health Service Executive is responsible for the delivery of public healthcare infrastructure projects, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly in relation to this matter.
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.
