Frankie Feighan (FG), Sligo-Leitrim

I thank the Deputy again for raising this issue. The HSE is continuing to explore a range of options to enhance the recruitment and retention of essential staff across all aspects of the health service. The Deputy suggested there is a role for the Department of the Minister, Deputy Harris. I absolutely agree with him. We can highlight these vacancies but also the opportunities for young people.
In addition, the HSE is working collaboratively with the CDNT lead agencies at CHO level to market CDNTs as an employer of choice in a competitive employment market. Each lead agency is responsible for recruitment of staff under CDNTs and is using a variety of approaches to fill funded vacancies.
