Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Services (11 Jun 2015)

Seán Fleming: I thank the Minister for his reply. He has given a commitment to meet with public representatives from County Laois some day next week, along with his colleague the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Deputy Charles Flanagan. He stated that changes would happen but that they would be done on a planned basis. He also stated that the CAT scan does not operate on a 24-hour basis.

Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Services (11 Jun 2015)

Seán Fleming: Okay. Will he clarify for how many hours the CT scanner is open in the hospital? The real concern is about the downgrade. We already understand the ambulance protocols that are in place. If there is a serious accident on a motorway, even within a mile of Portlaoise hospital, those with broken limbs will be sent to Tullamore, as it deals with orthopaedic issues. If one has a stroke in...

Seán Fleming: I want to raise the issue of the cutbacks to accident and emergency services at Portlaoise which were announced recently, although some might say that no final decisions have been made.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Jun 2015)

Seán Fleming: Yes. Since I wrote the letter, the Oireachtas has established a commission of inquiry. When I wrote that letter it was quite clear from comments that the Minister for Finance had an issue and he wanted to correct the record of the Dáil, which he did in person on Tuesday. I wanted the same procedure to apply here rather than a letter coming in here. The statement was given orally and...

Seán Fleming: I understand that the Minister misled the Dáil in relation to the operation of the Department of Finance and I acknowledge that he corrected the record of the House yesterday. The Secretary General of his Department misled the Committee of Public Accounts three weeks ago.

Seán Fleming: Fine. We have arranged a time. The Committee of Public Accounts will deal with this at 12.30 p.m. tomorrow. It now seems that after a commission of investigation has been approved by this House, committees of the House can continue to discuss matters of relevance to what is being investigated by the commission. The Minister will have to square that circle. How can committees have debates...

The relationship framework is also excluded from these terms of reference....
