Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 February 2024
489. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Health the number of approved posts attached to each critical care bed at each location within Children’s Health Ireland in each January in each of the years 2012 to 2024, by staff grade, in tabular form; and the number of vacancies at each point.

View answerAs 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 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.
