Chapter 18 - Health Service Executive Funding and Financial Reporting (1 Feb 2024) Imelda Munster: This is just what is happening on the ground, and that is why I am asking Mr. Gloster the question. There is a 12-year-old Down's syndrome girl and her parents had approached the services for speech and language therapy and were told there was one part-time speech and language therapist for the area - this was in Louth - and there were 700 people waiting.

If one goes to any other European country, and I have family and friends living right across Europe, those services take a preventative approach. They are really progressive and well-run health services. One never hears of shortages such as we have here. Is this the nightmare that is the HSE and all that goes with it? Is it what stops graduates...

Chapter 18 - Health Service Executive Funding and Financial Reporting (1 Feb 2024) Imelda Munster: Will Mr. Walsh give us an inclination of what the roadmap would include to make those posts attractive? How will the HSE encourage graduates who clearly want to work in the field - or they would not have studied the field in first instance - into what they would see as the last place they would want to work?

The fact that, as Mr. Gloster said, the service is exceptionally pressured is key. It has been so run down people would...

I have heard that it takes forever in the HSE between the time somebody applies for a job and when they are offered the post. Earlier, there was reference to posts that were approved last year coming on stream. From the time a person applies for a job, how long is it before they are offered that job and start working?
