428. Deputy Charles Flanagan asked the Minister for Health for an update regarding the public health nurse service in the Newcastle area of Dublin mid-west; if staff shortages are still impacting service delivery; if child developmental checks for all children of age in the area have been fully reinstated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26920/24]

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly, as soon as possible.
