Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Overcrowding (22 Nov 2022)

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Overcrowding (22 Nov 2022)

Marian Harkin: The Minister of State spoke about three issues. She spoke about the winter plan. Seven of the ten actions involve recruiting extra staff for SUH. When I wrote to the HSE asking how many extra staff had been recruited, I received a response not two weeks ago that told me that it was expecting to start recruiting soon. We are in the middle of winter so there is no winter plan here. ...
