Question from Deputy Ken O'Flynn - PQ 11455-26

To ask the Minister for Health whether her Department has assessed the impact of recruitment control measures introduced in 2023 and 2024 on clearance delays, vacancy persistence, and service delivery; whether the absence of clearance-timeline KPIs has limited the State’s ability to quantify those impacts; and if she will publish any internal reviews, analyses, or briefings undertaken by her Department on recruitment delays arising from centrally imposed controls.
