The Minister has asked me to thank you for your email to him in respect of recruitment matters in the HSE.

The role of the Minister for Health is primarily to deal with legislation, policy, overall budgetary allocation, and corporate governance. The HSE is a separate entity to the Department of Health and as such, the HSE has responsibility for matters relating to the staff within their employ or staff going through the process of recruitment with the HSE's National Recruitment Service.

Apologies that the Minister cannot assist in this regard.
