* To ask the Minister for Health and Children the number of permanent psychiatric nursing posts that are unfilled in Cork University Hospital; and if she will make a statement on the matter. – David Stanton T.D.

REPLY

The Deputy’s question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act, 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
