Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 February 2024
493. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Health the reason a reply has not issued to Parliamentary Question No. 136 of 8 November 2024 (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5076/24]
View answerAs the previous question related to a service matter, it was referred to the HSE for response. The HSE has been advised that a response is outstanding.
However, 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.
