Committee on Public Petitions
Public Petition on St. Brigid’s Hospital, Carrick-on-Suir (Resumed): Health Service Executive
Ms Kate Killeen White:
As I said, as part of our enhanced community care programme we received significant investment to roll out the community healthcare networks and the chronic disease and older persons programmes. These are new posts and there is ongoing recruitment for them. We have several work streams, both national and local, associated with recruitment. We also have the replacement posts, as we call them. When people move on or retire, there is ongoing recruitment to fill those replacement posts. However, it is a challenge, as the Deputy quite rightly pointed out. We will continue all attempts to recruit into our vacant posts.
