227. Deputy Pa Daly asked the Minister for Health if she is aware that the Castleisland-Farranfore primary care area, covering a large rural catchment from Abbeyfeale to Kilcummin and from Ballydesmond to Firies, is due to have just one senior physiotherapist providing both outpatient and domiciliary services for the next six months; the steps being taken to fill the vacant domiciliary physiotherapist post which has remained unfilled since early 2023; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [72507/26]

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