The health service has policies and procedures in place that provide a pathway and guidance for employees who wish to formally raise matters such as those that the Deputy is referencing. As the question being raised by the Deputy is in respect of a specific individual, I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy on the matter. However members of the Oireachtas are advised that the HSE are unlikely to be in a position to answer PQs due to industrial action. It is hoped that normal services will resume soon. In the meantime, this Department will continue to refer PQs to HSE for their direct reply as soon as possible.
