454. To ask the Minister for Health the reason the HSE is taking a full 12 weeks to pay overtime to staff, including nurses; the reason this is the case; if he is prepared to shorten the inordinate time healthcare professionals are expected to wait to receive their overtime payments amidst an unprecedented cost-of-living crisis; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
