4015. Deputy Eoghan Kenny asked the Minister for Health the number of approved and funded whole-time equivalent posts at Cork University Hospital which are currently vacant, by grade and profession; the number vacant for less than three months, three to six months, six to twelve months and more than twelve months; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [64034/26]

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