What is being done to address the overall serious position of Tallaght hospital? I notice the recent statement by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation calling for more nurses to be appointed. It has reflected on the 2012 HIQA report and the current situation, which is described as being worse. These are front-line staff. The 2012 HIQA report was quite alarming, to put it mildly, but we have been advised that the current position is worse. The statement indicates "the hospital is dangerous and staff fear that another adverse event will happen". Is the recruitment embargo a factor? I believe it is. Will more nurses be appointed to Tallaght hospital?
