MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.3

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

 This committee is increasingly concerned about the ongoing reports of insufficient health services in our area, including the lack of a public health nurse, delays in vital school children vaccines, and shortages of GPs, among other issues. Despite numerous requests, the Health Service Executive (HSE) has not accepted our invitations to attend an Area Committee Meeting (ACM). In light of the pressing need for information and collaboration, we kindly request that you relay our frustration to the HSE regarding their non-response to our invitations. The community is eager to address these health service issues, and the presence of HSE representatives at an ACM would greatly contribute to this effort. We ask that you initiate another round of invitations, emphasising the importance of their attendance and requesting a comprehensive report or presentation on the current state of health services in our area, which is long overdue.

REPORT:

If this motion is passed, a letter in this regard will be issued to the Health Service Executive (HSE) on behalf of the local area committee. The response, when received, will be circulated to the Members.
