Deputy Patrick Costello
I need to raise again the issue of the lack of public health nurses in Old County Road health centre. I have raised several times before the fact that no developmental checks are being offered to small children and their families. These developmental checks are incredibly important for young children, for babies, for picking up future needs and for supporting young parents.
No developmental checks are happening there. I have raised this numerous times. My questions to the HSE are going unanswered. We need public health nurses in the Old County Road health centre doing developmental checks again as soon as possible.
To Deputy Costello, I will talk to the Minister for Health about the need for public health nurses in the Old County Road health centre and the importance of those developmental checks and ask him to revert to the Deputy directly.
