PQ 47869-21 - David Cullinane

To ask the Minister for Health if he will address a matter raised in correspondence (I am writing to you in relation to recent negotiations between Forsa and the HSE regarding the HSCP career pathway. I am a staff grade Occupational Therapist with 12 years experience currently working in a sub acute rehab hospital which falls under social care and not primary care. As I am sure you are aware, the HSE recruits for senior therapists via a national panel. To be eligible for this panel you need to have a minimum of 3 years experience. The last national panel I was on expired in 2019 and there was no opportunity to re-interview to be on another panel again until June 2021. That means that for the last 2 years, I have been denied the opportunity to progress my career within the HSE as there was no opportunity to interview and be placed on a panel. I understand and respect the reasoning behind expiring a panel after 3 years but what I do not understand is how a panel can expire without giving people the chance to be on the supplementary panels. Why do therapists in primary care deserve this opportunity and the rest don’t? Why now will primary care senior job opportunities be granted to those who happen to work in the area over therapists who worked hard to demonstrate their competencies in the panel interview.) in relation to the health and social care career pathway; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
