Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 February 2024
533. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for Health the refurbishment works that were carried out at Bantry General Hospital in 2022 and 2023; and to detail the refurbishment works that are likely to commence at this hospital during 2024. [8959/24]
View answerAs 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.
