Funding has been provided in 2020 to develop the paediatric complex pain management service in Children's Health Ireland, including recruitment of consultant anaesthesia/pain specialist, occupational therapist, psychologist, physiotherapist and advanced nurse practitioner.

In regard to the specific detail on timing of recruitment, I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
