Question 660: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if she will put measures in place with the Health Service Executive to facilitate the appointment of a child-minding adviser in the South Dublin County Council area, through the South Dublin County Childcare Committee, in view of the fact that this post has been vacant for some time with the result that vital work is not being carried out in an area with a high population of children; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

In 2001 funding was provided to the HSE to appoint and pay for the costs of a Childminder Advisory Officer in each local community care area. My Office is aware that the post for South Dublin County Childcare Committee is currently vacant and this matter has been raised by my Office with the HSE and a response is awaited. I have also requested the HSE to reply to the Deputy directly.
