Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Oral Health Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jun 2019)

David Cullinane: I will come back to Dr. Green. Constituents visit our clinics and ask us to raise issues of concern to them. Orthodontics is sometimes one of those issues, especially in the south east because waiting times for treatment are longer. I submitted a parliamentary question which I think Dr. Green responded to about waiting times in the south east. I was taken aback by the response, which...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Oral Health Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jun 2019)

David Cullinane: Why is the waiting time 60 months? That is five years. How could somebody have to wait for five years for an inspection? Even priority waiting times, while they were up to date in 2014 and 2015, went to nine months in 2016, 13 months in 2017, 16 months in 2018 and 18 months in 2019. That is a year and a half for priority cases. Those are astounding figures. We talked about policy...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Oral Health Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jun 2019)

David Cullinane: Why has it not been dealt with for five years? If it is increasing every year, surely the people who are tasked with making sure that waiting times come down would put solutions in place? If something is a problem for that length of time, the people who are responsible for making sure that solutions are in place are obviously not delivering solutions because the times are increasing. Dr....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Oral Health Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jun 2019)

David Cullinane: I know the Chairman wants to come back in so I will finish on this. It is frustrating that I have listened to this for about an hour and a half. I thought that Dr. Kavanagh's and Dr. Dougall's responses were first class in setting out the policy and vision, as well as what needs to be done and what people need to do to look after their oral health, dental health and so on. We have also...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Oral Health Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jun 2019)

David Cullinane: I seek a final response from Dr. Green. He mentioned capacity. There is a capacity problem. He has said there has been some additional capacity. Is that additional capacity enough to reduce the waiting times? If not, what more is needed?

Home Help: Motion [Private Members] (25 Jun 2019)

David Cullinane: "I acknowledge that in some cases, access to the service may take longer than we would like" is the only sentence in the Minister of State's speech with which I agree but it understates the position. It is not the case that it may take longer, it will take longer and for some people who need home help, it will not happen at all. The problem with the approach of the Minister of State and...

Pre-European Council: Statements (19 Jun 2019)

David Cullinane: It appears once again that we could be heading for a cliff edge with Brexit. All of this is depressingly familiar when we all look at the leadership contest within the Tory Party in Britain with, as Deputy McDonald referred to, all of the runners and riders setting out their stalls. There are huge contradictions in what all the contenders are saying, including the front runner, Mr. Boris...
