3259. Deputy Pa Daly asked the Minister for Health the number of administrative staff across county Kerry mental health posts; the number of posts that are sanctioned; the number that remain unfulfilled across Kerry mental health services; the steps she is taking to address the current shortages; if this will be resolved by the end of the year; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [60943/26]

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