Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 February 2024
132. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Health the number of people in receipt of home care in County Monaghan; the number of people, and number of weeks, where the agreed level of support was not received in the years 2020 to 2023, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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 recently ended the industrial action which commenced on 6 October 2023. As a consequence, members in these grades were not engaging with political forums or processes. As a result of the accumulated backlog, the question asked by the Deputy may be delayed in receiving a response directly from the HSE.
