Amharc ar fhreagraMy colleague, the Minister for Health, met with the Tracheostomy Advocacy Group in the company of the Health Service Executive last week. The provision of safe home care for children who are well enough to leave hospital, such as children with tracheostomies, is a priority for Government. The Minister has requested that the HSE prioritise these services in planning services for 2014.
As the specific matter raised by the Deputy of a tracheostomy nursing post in Cork is a service matter, the Department has referred his question to the HSE for investigation and direct reply to him.
