Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion
Cathal Crowe (Clare, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I welcome the panel. I listened to Mr. Gloster on the radio last week. He was very clear that was over the HSE and not University Hospital Limerick, UHL, but I think the presenter was quick to point out the fact that he is from Limerick. We have a lot of hope in the mid west that Mr. Gloster might understand the situation better than many in this country. I know his role is not specific to that but I welcomed his contribution on the radio last week.
Like others, I want to raise some of the content that the Neurological Alliance of Ireland has been briefing us on. UHL had an expectation that it would be approved to have eight neurological nurses. I believe it got two. Waiting lists in CHO 3 for neurological supports at community level are now six months and more. Are there plans to further address that?
