Nursing Home Charges and Disability Allowance Payments: Statements (9 Feb 2023)

Cormac Devlin: I welcome the opportunity to examine the treatment of historical nursing home charges and disability allowance payments. I might focus on the nursing home charges first. As I understand it, this issue originally arose out of the Health Act 1970, which granted people with a medical card free access to inpatient services. This was later determined to include long-stay nursing home care....

Committee on Public Petitions: Public Petition on St. Brigid’s Hospital, Carrick-on-Suir (Resumed): Health Service Executive (9 Feb 2023)

Cormac Devlin: Deputy Higgins touched on some of the questions I was going to raise. Before I ask other questions, though, I am glad that Deputy McGrath is present. As someone who is meant to be an impartial Chair, I ask the Chairman to question Deputy McGrath's statement about people covering for one another. It was unfair to the officials and to the Member, who was not in the room at the time. I ask...

Committee on Public Petitions: Public Petition on St. Brigid’s Hospital, Carrick-on-Suir (Resumed): Health Service Executive (9 Feb 2023)

Cormac Devlin: I wish to ask questions of the witnesses. We had a beneficial engagement with members of the action group previously. I can understand the concern, emotion and involvement of the local community on this issue. Everyone is attached to his or her local health service. For Carrick-on-Suir, this seems to be an extremely personal situation. For example, we heard from the action group of...

Committee on Public Petitions: Public Petition on St. Brigid’s Hospital, Carrick-on-Suir (Resumed): Health Service Executive (9 Feb 2023)

Cormac Devlin: I wish to ask Mr. Ruane about his involvement. Everyone present is trying to do his or her best. The officials have attended to try to explain what is happening from their perspective, and the committee appreciates that. We have been debating this issue for quite some time and it is good to hear the official side as well as the community side. Unfortunately, I do not believe we will be...

Committee on Public Petitions: Public Petition on St. Brigid’s Hospital, Carrick-on-Suir (Resumed): Health Service Executive (9 Feb 2023)

How has it been since the restrictions...

Committee on Public Petitions: Public Petition on St. Brigid’s Hospital, Carrick-on-Suir (Resumed): Health Service Executive (9 Feb 2023)

Cormac Devlin: I have two final questions. Reference was made to ongoing recruitment. I think the term "24 whole equivalents" was used for existing staff but there are a number of vacancies. The opening statement referenced the fact that the physiotherapist clinical specialist post is currently vacant, as is the senior physiotherapist post. It is no secret that there are gaps in recruitment and...
