182. To ask the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the dangerous under-staffing and overcrowding conditions in the Mater Hospital recently highlighted by an organisation (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [52399/22]

I am aware of the current pressures facing the Mater hospital and I wish to acknowledge the distress overcrowded Emergency Departments cause to patients, their families, and frontline staff working in very challenging conditions in the hospital.

The question of staffing of acute hospitals is a service matter, as such, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
