Summary
Deputy Moynihan asked about the long-vacant consultant psychiatrist post for the deaf community in the southern region. The Minister of State said he would give the Deputy an update later that afternoon.
I raise the issue of the appointment of a consultant psychiatrist for the deaf community in the southern region. The position has been vacant for some time. Social workers who are dealing with the deaf community have implored me to use whatever offices I can to get a consultant psychiatrist appointed for the deaf community in the south. Does the Taoiseach or Government have any plans to make that appointment?
Comment on this
I will give the Deputy an update on the matter this afternoon.
