Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 February 2024
580. Deputy James O'Connor asked the Minister for Health if he will address concerns relating to the delay in dental treatment of a child (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6275/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs this is a service 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 6th October 2023. 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.
