Pa Daly (SF), Kerry

If ever there was a scheme that epitomised the lack of planning, co-ordination and consistency by the Government to a level that was almost calculated to cause division, it is the pandemic bonus payment. The 11 officers in the stores and material management department of University Hospital Kerry changed their shifts and organised PPE in the hospital and in the community, as well as doing their normal jobs of organising beds and wheelchairs. Having done that, they now see workers in other hospitals have received the payment. Will the Minister ensure there is equality of treatment throughout the health service and that these workers receive their payment, even at this late stage?
