Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 March 2024
1284. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Health the up-to-date position with the construction of a new hospital (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11884/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Health Service Executive is responsible for the delivery of public healthcare infrastructure projects, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly in relation to this matter.
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. 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.
