Brendan Howlin

Ceist:

602. Deputy Brendan Howlin asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to concerns raised by private nursing home operators at the recruitment by the HSE of trained staff from their sector who have been recruited by private nursing homes from abroad and have had their visas and travel arrangements processed at a considerable cost to the private nursing homes concerned; the steps he has taken to ensure that attractive terms and conditions are available for nurses and care workers in both the private and public sectors; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Private Nursing Homes are privately owned and run. Their terms and conditions of employment, once in line with employment legislation, are strictly between the employer and the employee.

The terms and conditions available for nurses and care workers in the public sector are set by their individual employers and are currently covered by national wage agreement, Building Momentum.
