- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Health Services for Persons with Lung Fibrosis: Discussion (24 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: Before Ms Cassidy does so, I say to the Chair that this is not rocket science. The first thing we need is the patient registry. Without that, as Ms Cassidy has said, you cannot plan. Whether it is the current or a future Minister for Health or those in the HSE, you need to have the data. In far too many areas of healthcare we are not collecting the data. We do not have registries. This...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Health Services for Persons with Lung Fibrosis: Discussion (24 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: We can follow up with the HSE on those funding requests, which I am sure we will after this meeting. I would imagine they are not huge amounts of money that are needed.

David Cullinane: I was at the launch of the three locations, Waterford, Limerick and Kerry, at the headquarters of Motorsport Ireland in January of this year. There was a lot of enthusiasm. Many people were in the room, including representatives from chambers of commerce, motorsport enthusiasts and people from different local authorities who were part of the consortium that made the successful bid to host...

David Cullinane: In his response, the Minister of State said that there needs to be sufficient engagement with relevant stakeholders when considering funding events like this. He mentioned local authorities, An Garda Síochána and existing local businesses. One of the leading advocates of the Waterford bid was the CEO of the council. Local councillors and all of the Oireachtas Members were behind...

To ask the Minister for Health the reason reimbursement support for Ozempic® (Semaglutide) is only available to those with eligibility under the general medical services scheme or the long-term illness scheme, and is not available on the drugs payment scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17966/24]

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Apr 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: I welcome all of the witnesses. Ms O’Connell mentioned that the previous session the committee had on long Covid took place in October 2022. This is correct. At that meeting, the HSE informed us the knowledge about long Covid was still emerging and evolving, as Ms O’Connell pointed out. The HSE stated that over time the services provided to sufferers would develop and...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: I thank Ms Corey and Ms O'Connell. In her opening statement Ms O’Connell said that many of the long Covid clinics remain unstaffed or understaffed. There are staff but there is understaffing in most, if not all, of them. I am looking at the briefing document we got from the HSE, which speaks about the eight post-acute Covid clinics and the six long Covid clinics, and there is one...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: With regard to the centre of excellence and the one-stop shop that was promised, Ms O'Connell has said this is not in place. I do not see it mentioned anywhere in the opening statement from the HSE so I assume it does not exist and has not been progressed. What was Ms O'Connell's understanding of what that one-stop shop was meant to do?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: I thank Ms O'Connell for that. She mentioned GPs and in my first question about improvements, she said there are examples of GPs who have done the research in this area and are responding very well but she also said is not the case across all GPs. Has Long Covid Advocacy Ireland had any engagement with the Irish College of General Practitioners, ICGP?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion (17 Apr 2024)
David Cullinane: It does and the committee should probably write to the ICGP to get an update from it on what training it has provided and pass that on to the witnesses to see if more can be done because that is an important area. My last question concerns the recognition of long Covid as a long-term illness. Yesterday, the Government announced the temporary special scheme for paid leave for healthcare...
