Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Hospital Doctor Retention and Motivation Project: Discussion (23 Mar 2022)

Gino Kenny: I have a final question. If the Australian system of a set number of hours was implemented in the Irish public health system, I believe we all agree that would be a very good thing for doctors. However, what knock-on effect would it have if it was implemented in the next six months?

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Maternity Hospital (31 Mar 2022)

Gino Kenny: My question relates to the future of the proposed national maternity hospital on the grounds of St. Vincent's University Hospital. Its construction has been something of a saga. People want clarity on its proposed ethos and ownership.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Maternity Hospital (31 Mar 2022)

Gino Kenny: Is the Minister confident that will happen because this has been an ongoing saga for the past ten years? For the casual observer, it is extremely confusing in relation to the ownership of the land and the ethos of the building itself. I understand the building will be owned by the State but the board will still be run by a private holding, that is, the Religious Sisters of Charity. If that...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Maternity Hospital (31 Mar 2022)

Gino Kenny: I will take the Minister's word on that. What the women of Ireland will want to know is when will construction begin. We have seen projects in the State previously that are completely dragged out and, eventually, they may never be built. A modern hospital for the 21st century has to have a modern ethos to fit the 21st century. We live in a different era from when it was established on...

Women's Health Action Plan: Statements (31 Mar 2022)

Gino Kenny: I welcome this document, entitled "Listen. Invest. Deliver." For many years, however, none of that was done. In fact, many women were never listened to and there was disinvestment in women's health and society as a whole. As a consequence of that, women's health was subordinate in society and in healthcare. One of the greatest advocates for women's healthcare in recent times has been...

Gino Kenny: 110. To ask the Minister for Health the steps he is taking to ensure the recent rapid increase in Covid-19-related hospitalisations does not increase the already lengthy waiting lists for hospital treatment and will not result in the cancellation of transplant operations due to lack of bed capacity; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17016/22]

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (7 Apr 2022)

Gino Kenny: I raise an issue today with the Tánaiste and perhaps the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, who is present, may be in a better position to answer this question. It relates to the progressing disability services for children and young people. A number of families in my constituency and outside it have raised the lack of services with me. These families have children with Down’s...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Impact of Covid-19 on Neurological Services, Care and Capacity: Neurological Alliance of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Gino Kenny: Many of the questions I had intended to ask have already been answered, so I will ask some supplementary ones. How does the number of neurological consultants in Ireland compare with that of other countries in Europe?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Impact of Covid-19 on Neurological Services, Care and Capacity: Neurological Alliance of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Gino Kenny: How many neurological consultants are there in Ireland?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Impact of Covid-19 on Neurological Services, Care and Capacity: Neurological Alliance of Ireland (30 Mar 2022)

Gino Kenny: There is shortfall also in respect of neurological nurses. I understand there are 42 in the State, which needs to be at least tripled. As Professor Hardiman said, this should all be done over a five-year period. My final question probably does not relate specifically to this subject matter but I will ask it nonetheless. It concerns the medical cannabis access programme. Two of the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Oversight of Sláintecare: Discussion (Resumed) (6 Apr 2022)

Gino Kenny: The question I want to ask today is on the progress made on Sláintecare and where we are going with the concept of Sláintecare. The vast majority of people in this country want to see a different health system, one that is not inherently unequal as regards public healthcare. What people want is less bureaucracy, more delivery and radical reform. They want public healthcare at...
