322. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for Health , further to Parliamentary Question No. 1595 of 17 January 2024, when the question will be answered and the information sought be provided; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5871/24]

As the Health Service Executive is responsible for the delivery of public healthcare infrastructure projects, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.

As the Deputy may be aware, management and administrative grade staff in the Fórsa union in the HSE commenced industrial action on Friday 6th October. As a consequence of this industrial action, members in these grades are not engaging with political forums or processes. As a result, the question asked by the Deputy may be delayed in receiving a response directly from the HSE.
