Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) Seán Crowe: It was agreed at a private meeting of the committee that we would go ahead. It was to facilitate the Minister and the Department to try to get this Estimate through. That is the reason we pushed ahead.

Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) Seán Crowe: This committee does not have many days left. We have an update on Sláintecare with the interim CEO of the HSE, Mr. Mulvany and Mr. Watt from the Department in next week. We do not really have any additional time for this.
- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) Seán Crowe: No. The request came through the system that the Estimate was coming up. We would have thought that at this late stage that whatever the Supplementary Estimate was had been agreed by the Department and that the Minister was trying to get it through the House. Am I wrong about that?

Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) Seán Crowe: I have a couple of questions. To follow on with regard to the community nursing beds and the acute beds, a lot of the hospitals are facing a big challenge at the moment and we are only starting the flu season. It is not uncommon to increasingly see a huge number of ambulances outside hospitals. There is additional money in the winter plan and so on, but most of the hospitals are saying it...
- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) Seán Crowe: As with the acute beds, there is probably a lot being done. We need to do more, however, and that can be clearly seen. I have one more question on something that has not been touched on. We know from the large-scale cyberattack that huge investment is needed in IT systems. In addition, the patient identifier number scheme is coming online. There is no mention of sufficient funding in...

Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) Seán Crowe: I apologise to members for hogging the meeting but I have a last question on the national children's hospital. There is a story in some of the papers about additional funding there. Again, I do not see it under any subhead here. Significant money has been spent. The committee has visited the hospital and looked at ongoing progress. Is additional funding needed for that or is the existing...

- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) Seán Crowe: The Minister might come back to the committee with information as I know one hospital which paid out the pandemic payment to all of its staff but the Department has not recouped this money to the hospital. Perhaps the Minister might come back to the committee with those figures also. The Minister is stating this money has been paid out. In this case, however, it has been paid out by...
