Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2022)

Seán Crowe: I again welcome the news about the daycare elective care procedures based on the Tallaght model that will be rolled out across the country. What was unique about the Tallaght model was that it was off campus and off site. Unfortunately, in many cases, when there is pressure with beds, it is usually the daycare beds that are the first to go. With that model, given the fact it was outside of...

Building Defects: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (6 Dec 2022)

Seán Crowe: The Minister said he understood the problem. The next step is to try to resolve it. He said it cannot be done in a rushed fashion and he mentioned that it might take up to ten years. I do not think anyone I have talked to, and there are a number of affected residents in my constituency, including in Ballycullen, Citywest and Rathfarnham, can wait that long. They are terrified, afraid and...

Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Service 2022
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (Resumed) (6 Dec 2022)

Seán Crowe: I agree with what the last speaker said about long Covid. I ask the Minister to tell us at some stage about how much it costs to run a long Covid clinic. I know there are factors but it does not make sense to close a clinic that seems to operate well and has the expertise but open a clinic that does not necessarily have the same expertise. The decision to close is mind boggling. It would...

Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (Resumed) (6 Dec 2022)

Seán Crowe: Before I let Deputy Durkan in, I ask that he give me a couple of minutes. I know the pandemic payment is small in relation to the overall budget. It is tiny in relation to it. I just do not understand the delay in making the payment. The Minister said in a reply earlier that he expect about 300 groups to get the payment. What kind of percentage is that? Is it about half the people...

The figures are frightening in this context. Is there anything in these Supplementary Estimates concerning screening? I refer in particular as to whether consideration has been given to rare diseases. We have discussed this issue before,...
