MOTION NO.14

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

Cathaoirleachs Business

That this Area Committee noting multiple prior invitations to the HSE to attend a meeting of this council to discuss local health services expresses concern that no such engagement has yet occurred. This is particularly urgent in light of recent developments including the closure of the dental service in Lucan Health Centre due to the inability to recruit a replacement dentist reports that public health nurses are not visiting new mothers and babies and confusion around how families are being advised to seek support. Given the growing population of the Lucan area and increasing pressure on services this motion requests that the Chief Executive on behalf of this council takes further and stronger steps to secure the attendance of the HSE at a future Area Committee Meeting to discuss these and other pressing health service concerns.

REPORT:

If this motion is passed, its terms will be brought to the attention of the HSE and a response requested.
