Catherine Murphy

Ceist:

31. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Health if he will provide an update on the recruitment of extra speech and language therapists, occupational therapists and psychological professionals to address the shortfall which exists in all three areas; the amount of the 2014 allocation of €20 million that was spent on this recruitment; the number of positions that are in place; the number that remain to be filled; the number of persons on recruitment panels; if he will provide a breakdown of the locations, where the new-hires are currently employed; if he is satisfied that the new-hires have addressed particular pressure points for these services, around the country; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly on the matter. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
