Ms Lorraine Dempsey:

To clarify, the temporary redeployment is through the HSE. Thousands of SNAs underwent the vetting process to transfer through the redeployment programme through the HSE. While it the figure of 230 was lauded yesterday by the Minister as a success story, in effect it showed there were serious issues with the redeployment phase and the vetting process, which significantly delayed linking SNAs up with children through the health programme.
