Questions (1243)

Paul Lawless

Question:

1243. Deputy Paul Lawless asked the Minister for Health the reason the Health Service Executive continues to refuse legally compliant written references that confirm only dates of employment and job titles, the full extent of what many private employers are permitted to provide under their own governance and liability policies, and instead applies pressure on private companies to issue verbal or expanded written references that contravene those employers’ established reference policies; and if the Minister will outline the justification for this practice and the steps being taken to rectify the delays in this position starting.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
