Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 December 2023
498. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Health to outline the reasons why the helpline for the neurology nurses in Crumlin Children's Hospital is no longer operational; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53197/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs this is an operational matter I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly.
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.
