I propose to take Questions Nos. 178, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183 and 186 together.
As these are operational matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
As the Deputy may be aware, management and administrative grade staff in the Fórsa union in the HSE recently ended the industrial action which commenced on 6 October 2023. As a consequence, members in these grades were not engaging with political forums or processes. As a result of the accumulated backlog, the questions asked by the Deputy may be delayed in receiving a response directly from the HSE.
