Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 February 2024
316. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for Health the number of national and international health recruitment fairs staff from CHI Temple Street were in attendance to seek to recruit additional nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, etc. in the years of 2022, 2023 and to date in 2024; and the number of recruitment fairs where staff were present the number of jobs offered per fair.

View answerAs this is an operational matter 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.
