Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 April 2024
1102. Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if he will provide an update on provision for a neuro-rehabilitation unit in CHO 7, which was due to be progressed in 2023; where the unit will be based; the roles that have been provided funding within the service; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerAs this question refers to service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible. The Deputy will likely be aware that the industrial action by certain Fórsa grades in the HSE has been suspended. The HSE has indicated that they have recommenced issuing replies to questions but there is a significant backlog of PQs and Reps to be responded to and has advised that they are working to get through these as soon as possible while at the same time managing the volume of current PQs and Reps.
