My Department has been advised by the Health Service Executive that 44 additional staff were recruited arising from the provision of additional revenue funding of €6.78m for the development of cystic fibrosis services and that the necessary funding is available to facilitate the recruitment of a further 37 staff nationally.

My Department has asked the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to reply directly to the Deputy on the detailed application of this funding.
