Question 114: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she will seek equality of service from the HSE for front line therapy services such as speech, occupational and physiotherapy; the way in which this might be achieved in view of the fact that the public service embargo is in place and sanctioned positions are in some cases not being advertised because of the embargo.

There is currently no embargo on recruitment of staff in the health services. However, the management of the employment ceiling for the health sector is a matter for the Health Service Executive, which may, as part of this management, prioritise certain areas in line with the service priorities set out in its service plan for 2005.
