Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 January 2024
1553. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Health if a home help application will be prioritised for a person (details supplied) in order that they can be discharged home from a residential care facility; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [56811/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs this is an operational matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
As the Deputy may be aware, management and administrative grade staff in the Fórsa union in the HSE commenced industrial action on Friday, 6 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.
