David Cullinane: There is no family that is not impacted by mental health difficulties and challenges at some point. We know early intervention is key to preventing serious illness, particularly for young people if a mental illness is caught at a young age and the intervention services are available.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Key Issues Relating to the Health Service: Discussion (24 Sep 2025)
David Cullinane: Some of the my questions are for Mr. Watt, but I will start with CHI and come to Mr. Gloster. I acknowledge the apology Mr. Gloster has given to Harvey Morrison Sherratt's parents. It is important. However, I know from having dealt with many of these families, including Harvey's parents, that they want more than an apology. They want delivery and improvements in the service. The Minister...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Key Issues Relating to the Health Service: Discussion (24 Sep 2025)
David Cullinane: There were issues around whether the unpublished report was given to An Garda Síochána and why had CHI not given it. There were also other issues around whether the HSE had even been informed. There were obviously tensions at a senior level between the HSE and the CHI. Mr. Gloster has fed into that process.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Key Issues Relating to the Health Service: Discussion (24 Sep 2025)
David Cullinane: Mr. Gloster is right to acknowledge that there are a lot of consultants and staff doing good work. We all have to reiterate that because there is a lot of excellent service provided by CHI, but there are also a lot of failures. According to the response I received yesterday to one of my parliamentary questions, it is going to be next year before we see any sight of the Nayagam report, if we...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Key Issues Relating to the Health Service: Discussion (24 Sep 2025)
David Cullinane: But what in terms of governance? We know all that and our time is short. I have just outlined all those failures. A lot of them relate to children being failed. Some of it obviously was in relation to their health. There have been poor outcomes and poor communication with parents, but there were governance issues right across the board, so I am asking the question-----

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Key Issues Relating to the Health Service: Discussion (24 Sep 2025)
David Cullinane: Okay. I move to the capital plan and will start with Mr. Gloster. I contacted him a year ago privately - and it was a private conversation - about my concerns about the elective hospitals. I had got word at first hand, some from within the Department and some from within the HSE, that there was serious pushback from consultants about the elective-only hospitals. I think we can all...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Key Issues Relating to the Health Service: Discussion (24 Sep 2025)
David Cullinane: I know that. I am asking about the money, because it will not take until 2030 to get the planning. I am sorry, but my question is really direct and I have only two minutes left. With the capital allocation available the Department has to build the maternity hospital. It is not going to deliver anywhere near those 3,000 beds the previous Minister for Health talked about, so that is out the...
