1427. Deputy Liam Quaide asked the Minister for Health the relocation financial assistance available to EU and non-EU candidates recruited to physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, dietetics and psychology posts; the number of eligible candidates in each profession in each of the years 2024, 2025 and to date in 2026; the number offered the assistance; the number who received it; the total expenditure; and the way in which candidates are informed of the scheme during recruitment. [65668/26]

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