Health Services Staff
Dail Éireann — 2024-02-29
============================================================

David Cullinane (SF), Waterford

Earlier this week, I raised with the Taoiseach and, I think, the Minister the issue of some healthcare professionals and allied professionals who are receiving letters about their annual leave prospects informing them these will be constrained because of the recruitment embargo. As the Minister knows, I am not a supporter of this embargo. How long will it last, what are the current ceilings for recruitment of staff for 2024 and how will they impact on service provision for this year?
