Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 February 2024
530. Deputy Violet-Anne Wynne asked the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 11 of 18 January 2024, the number of homebirths by county for each of the years 2019 to 2023 and to date in 2024, tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5309/24]
View answerAs this question relates to operational data, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly. As the Deputy may be aware, management and administrative grade staff in the Fórsa union in the HSE commenced industrial action on Friday 6th 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.
