Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: I know, but there is a concern about this process that the person they are then referred to will say that they are not prepared to do a surgery until they do their assessment.

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: Therefore, while the HSE might be taking them off the waiting list, it is technically putting them back onto another waiting list.

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: I am asking if there is a need to review this, first because of the decision regarding treatment abroad and people's entitlements. The second reason relates to the process I am talking about, which is not actually expediting the reduction of the list in real terms.

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: One of the problems we are all coming across is the length of time people are on the waiting list. By the time they require treatment, in fact, the degree of treatment they require has greatly increased. Can we look at the system with a view to taking people off the waiting list at an earlier stage and getting them referred out? There seems to be a policy that we will not even dare talk...

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: I got a letter back from a hospital telling me that a patient had only been on the list since 2021, more or less clearly indicating to me that it was not prepared to put the patient on the list under the NTPF.

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: Okay. Can the list of certain procedures be expanded so that we do not have patients, who are waiting for other procedures, waiting for two to three years and still cannot get on the NTPF list?

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: I would like to follow up on what Deputy Dillon raised earlier on about the cost of nursing home care. He raised the one issue in relation to Cork, where 73 beds have now been withdrawn from the fair deal scheme. We now have a problem. We have 73 people who do not have beds from now on if they cannot pay for it themselves. I would like to raise the issue with regard to Laois. The...

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: Can I ask Mr. Gloster for a report on that? There was a 10.3% increase in the cost of public nursing homes between January 2022 and January 2023. What I am concerned about is that for the private sector, which is only getting €1,000 per bed per week, the increase was only 3%. Yet, here we have €2,585 per bed per week in Laois.

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: In fairness now, over €2,500 per bed, per week. It says something, and that is the average cost in Laois. One of the reasons for that average cost is that if one has a facility which was costing €4,500 per bed, per week, then when one averages it out over the three units, one is having problems. The second thing that I want to ask-----

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: I know that, but what I am saying to Mr. Gloster that is if one is costing 150% more in a public system, then one is depriving other people of care, because one could look after a lot more people with the lower cost that is provided in the private sector. How can this be allowed to continue? Even if you vary it, the average cost of a nursing home in Dublin in the HSE is €1,917 per...
