510. Deputy Michael Cahill asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality if she will respond to concerns raised by the HSE that, even if additional funding for staffing at a location (details supplied) were approved, there can be no guarantee that sufficient nursing and care staff can be recruited and retained to safely meet assessed needs on an ongoing basis; the action she is taking to address this issue; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [67160/26]

As this question refers to service matters, I have requested the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
