Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 February 2024
286. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if an application to the disability services for an individualised budget relative to the care needs of a person (details supplied); if the complaints lodged regarding a service provider have been investigated; if so, have the issues been resolved; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6893/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs this question refers to service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible. The Deputy will likely be aware that the industrial action by certain Fórsa grades in the HSE has been suspended. The HSE has indicated that they have recommenced issuing replies to questions but there is a significant backlog of PQs and Reps to be responded to and has advised that they are working to get through these as soon as possible while at the same time managing the volume of current PQs and Reps.
