A number of policies are in place in the public health service in respect of the caring responsibilities of our staff.These are set out in the HSE's Terms and Conditions of Employment staff guide, which can be viewed online here assets.hse.ie/media/documents/Guidelines_on_terms_and_conditions_of_employment.pdf
There are no plans to introduce any further arrangements in this regard.
