Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

Question 75: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if she is still of the view that the embargo on recruitment of staff by the Health Service Executive is not affecting patient care; the level of involvement she and officials in her Department had in decisions with regard to staff issues, including the increase in grade eight managers from ten in 2000 to more than 500 at present; the way the embargo is impacting on the implementation of Government health policies; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
