I propose to take Questions Nos. 294 and 296 together.
I am pleased to advise the Deputy that the South/South West Hospital Group has confirmed that funding is in place for both posts, which are currently awaiting approval by the HSE’s Consultant Appointment Advisory Committee. The South/South West Hospital Group has advised that, once approved, the advertisement of these posts can commence immediately.
