1662. Deputy Gillian Toole asked the Minister for Health the impact assessments which were carried out in 2020 when the developmental assessments of children, by public health nurses, were suspended during SARS Cov 2 and similarly, during the Health Service Executive pay & numbers strategies of 2022 and 2023; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18268/26]

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