Disability Services
Dail Éireann — 2023-11-07
============================================================

Anne Rabbitte (FF), Galway East

I appreciate exactly where providers are coming from and the uncertainty that correspondence caused, but I do not accept it will take months upon months for staff organisations were interviewing to be taken on for posts. Disability services are probably among the only services across the HSE that is recruiting at this moment in time and it is doing so across all the posts I laid out for the Deputy. To be honest with her, we have worked as speedily as we could and to be fair to Bernard Gloster, he has responded as quickly he could. He knew this question was here this evening, so I welcome his pragmatism in responding to us. The letter will issue in the morning, so I ask providers to take up tools as speedily as they put them down when they got word there was a pause.
