Jennifer Carroll MacNeill (FG), Dún Laoghaire

I thank the Deputy. Yes, he wrote to me on this issue and we wrote back. A number of months ago, the Deputy sought confirmation that this was going to revert to a community nursing unit. Obviously, we are discussing that that is now happening. There are a number of administrative arrangements that need to take place. Let me not comment on Bartra Healthcare and the transfer of undertakings, but what I can say is that there is active recruitment across the HSE in all cases to try to bring more people in. I responded to the Deputy privately on this matter. We are desperately seeking more and more people to apply for positions within the HSE. We want to employ all of those people, whether by transfer of undertakings or by means of a different recruitment process. We want all of those people to be facilitated and productively employed within the HSE.
