Eviction Ban Bill 2022: Motion (27 Sep 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: The housing crisis affects everybody in society at some level. Some are suffering significantly but there are very few who are not affected by it throughout the State. First of all, the housing crisis is a life-and-death issue. It is leading to significant deaths. It is creating a situation in which people are being forced into emergency accommodation, with all of the negative aspects...

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: The Minister did not answer. First, Mr. Nayagam is not a specialist spinal surgeon, and yet he is the external reviewer. He does not have the clinical expertise to actually ask the hard questions of the expert surgeons. How does that happen?

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: I am not.

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: No.

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: You would have to be foolish to think that, simply by requesting that the reviewer has expertise in complex surgery, which is a qualification, I was in some way undermining that individual. I am not. It is clear that the individual who is the external reviewer in this situation does not have the same qualifications as the individuals he is reviewing. The reason I stated that is because the...

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: Okay. We are going to have to disagree with that. Again, on the specialist element, Scotland has a large number of surgeons who specialise in complex spinal operations. Again, Ireland does not have that level of expertise. Ireland has all-rounders. It is understood that Temple Street did not have enough focus on that expertise. Is that not an issue we have to resolve coming out of this...

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: I want to check the timeline between the Minister and the Taoiseach on the communication. To be honest, it is extremely nebulous. The Minister stated that he learned of it for sure at the start of August and that he told somebody in the Taoiseach's office. Who did he tell in the Taoiseach's office?

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: The Taoiseach said today on Leaders’ Questions that he found out about the specifics of the spring implants only in the past couple of weeks. The Minister has not been able to recall the fact the Taoiseach was asked a question on this in July. He said he was going to refer it to the Minister but the Minister cannot recall whether the Taoiseach referred it to him.

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: The whole communication pattern obviously did not work because the Minister did not learn fully about the Taoiseach's question and the Taoiseach did not learn of the Minister's experience until the past couple of weeks. That is a problem in its own right. The Minister specifically asked CHI why lists were not falling. When did he ask CHI why lists were not falling despite the extra...

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: I am only asking when was the first conversation but the Minister does not know the answer to that, I take it. I am referring to the first conversation with CHI as to why lists were not falling.
