Stephen Donnelly (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I acknowledge the ongoing advocacy of the Deputy and others in respect of this work. The 23 posts have been sanctioned, so the HSE is hiring people. I will revert to the Deputy with an expected timeline. As already stated, the team for CHO 4 will be based at the major trauma centre in CUH. As well as the team going into CHO 2, a further two community rehabilitation teams will be going into CHOs 6 and 7. These will be based in the Bray Civic Centre and the Peamount Healthcare Centre. When these teams are all in place, we will have full national coverage. In the context of the expected hiring dates and the service being available to people in Cork, I will revert to the Deputy.
