Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Progressing Disability Services Model and Withdrawal of Occupational Therapies from Schools: Engagement with HSE

Ms Angela O'Neill:

As we are reconfiguring the existing staff, there will be a mix of staff on the teams from ranges of expertise and backgrounds and also from different employers. As people move from posts, the recruitment of the new person will be done by the lead agency.

If I were a HSE speech and language therapist working on a Brothers of Charity managed team and I were to go off into the sunset in the morning, the Brothers of Charity would recruit my replacement.
