Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 February 2024
487. Deputy Imelda Munster asked the Minister for Health the number of beds that are currently operational at the new 30-bed purpose build dementia unit in a nursing home (details supplied) in Drogheda; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5018/24]
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 were not engaging with political forums or processes. The Fórsa action has now ended. However, the question asked by the Deputy may be delayed in receiving a response directly from the HSE.
