Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 38 - Health (Further Revised) (19 Apr 2023)

Róisín Shortall: I thank the Chair and the Minister for his presentation. At the outset, it would be remiss of us not to revert to the Maura Quinn report which was published this week, given we are discussing expenditure within the Minister’s Department at this meeting. I have to say I was concerned about the approach the Minister took to that report and the statement he issued on its eventual...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Centre for Health Policy and Management, Trinity College Dublin (1 Mar 2023)

Róisín Shortall: ...people with private health insurance who had Covid-19 could get quicker treatment or a ventilator faster in hospital. As was said, the major problem is that after the main threat of Covid-19, we reverted to type and went back to a situation where people could buy their way into healthcare. This is obviously regrettable. There is no doubt, however, that there are big interests pushing...

Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Service 2022
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (Resumed) (6 Dec 2022)

Róisín Shortall: ...the final Scally report, during Leaders' Questions with the Taoiseach about two weeks ago. I asked at the time in regard to an issue related to the Meenan review and the Taoiseach stated he would revert to me with details on that. He did not do so and I followed up, and the response I got from him just the other day suggested he had asked the Minister to provide the detail on that. The...

Planning and Development (Ministerial Guidelines) Bill 2022: First Stage (1 Jun 2022)

Róisín Shortall: ...Members' Bill would be a good start for the Minister. It seeks to undo the damage caused in recent years by removing the obligation on planning authorities to comply with section 28 guidelines, thus reverting to a more democratic and sustainable planning framework. On that basis, I commend the Bill to the House.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2022: Discussion (18 May 2022)

Róisín Shortall: .... Thankfully, we are moving away from the particular pressures of Covid - the big ones at any rate. Given that we would not for one moment think of doing things differently during Covid, why are we reverting to a two-tier system in which money talks and it is tough luck for those who cannot afford it? We need to preserve the lessons learned from Covid about those things that worked very...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 May 2022)

Róisín Shortall: ...x20ac;10 as long as list of six conditions are complied with, including that the landlord, St. Vincent's Holdings, retains a controlling stake over the use of the hospital. If these conditions are breached, the rent will revert upwards. If St. Vincent's Holdings is magnanimously offering an annual rent of €10, can the Minister explain why this punitive penalty clause exists? It...

Written Answers — Department of Housing, Planning, and Local Government: Planning Issues (14 Jul 2021)

Róisín Shortall: ...Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government when he plans to end the strategic housing development planning system; if he will replace it with a new system for large scale developments or revert to the standard local authority planning process; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38689/21]

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Jul 2020)

Róisín Shortall: ...all due respect, delaying phase 4 is not a strategy. I asked the Taoiseach what the Government is actually doing now which will make the numbers go down. This seems completely ad hoc. We cannot revert to lockdown every time the numbers go up. Last Tuesday's official letter from NPHET to the Government was very clear about foreign travel. It said that there has been a 12% rate of...

Northern Ireland: Statements (7 Mar 2018)

Róisín Shortall: ...orange and green divide are systematically excluded. In many ways, the status quoof direct rule suits everybody. Sinn Féin can appear to be whiter than white in pushing its requests, the DUP can revert to its "Never, never, never" position and the British and Irish Governments can retreat to their minimalist and hands-off approach to the impasse. My party believes that these...

Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Health Service Reform: HSE (30 Nov 2016)

Róisín Shortall: I will revert to the question on structures. A well-functioning organisation should be able to display its management structure on a one-page diagram. The diagram before me of senior management within the HSE bears no relation to what is happening on the ground in terms of the hospital, community health care organisation, CHO, and mental health service systems or primary care teams. This...

Medicinal Products (16 May 2012)

Róisín Shortall: My understanding is that tysabri is prescribed on the basis of clinical indications. If there are regional variations, I am not aware of them. I will check and revert to the Deputy later in the day. I agree absolutely with the Deputy that we need to be very vigilant about the prices charged for medicines. In many cases where new drugs are coming onto the market, the suppliers have a...
