Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 7 March 2024
379. Deputy Patrick Costello asked the Minister for Health his views on the scope and significance of the structural problems identified by HIQA within Cherry Orchard Hospital; and to outline timeline on when and how they will be addressed. [11328/24]
View answerAs the Health Service Executive is responsible for the delivery of public healthcare infrastructure projects, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly in relation to this matter.
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.
