Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I will definitely follow up on that and revert to the Deputy with a proper answer as soon as I get one. Some people will probably speculate that it is linked to the recruitment restrictions in the HSE at the moment. I do not know whether that is or is not the case. Approved posts can still go ahead. Next year, the HSE is authorised to take on an additional 2,000 staff. I am sure it can be done but I will revert to the Deputy when I have a proper reply.
