Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

I thank the Deputy for raising this important question and I acknowledge that she has raised it several times before. There is an issue with the recruitment of public health nurses in that particular area. The Department and the HSE are giving this their utmost attention. It is not a funding issue or a moratorium issue; it is due to a lack of public health nurses for that area. I will bring the Deputy’s concerns back again to see if we can expedite something. I agree with the Deputy that these developmental checks are very important, especially for new mothers and their babies. I will revert to the Deputy in due course.
