- Health Service Inquiries. (21 May 2009)
James Reilly: I thank you, a Leas Cheann Comhairle. As Deputy Shatter has said, never before have we had recommendations blacked out of a report. The Minister of State's assertion that it is only the most hard-hitting recommendations that are left in beggars belief. Does he think the public will buy that? The public only has his word for that. That will not do. At a time when we need to protect our...
- Health Service Inquiries. (21 May 2009)
James Reilly: Has the Minister of State accepted recommendations 8.1 to 8.14 and 8.22 to 8.26? A simple "Yes" or "No" will do in response.

Will he identify who has ministerial responsibility for ensuring each of the recommendations is implemented? How can we be sure they will be carried out when...

- Health Services. (21 May 2009)
James Reilly: Arthritis is the greatest cause of disability in Ireland today, affecting one in every six people or 714,000 people, yet the Minister referred to the NTPF facilitating more than 2,500 patients, which puts this issue in perspective. The World Health Organisation recommends that Ireland should have one rheumatologist per 80,000 people but the reality is we have one per 400,000 people, which...
- Health Services. (21 May 2009)
James Reilly: The Minister stated she will shrink the number of junior hospital doctors and the 2:1 ratio will result in more doctors at consultant level. The average working week of a consultant is between 33 and 38 hours while the average working week of a junior hospital doctor is almost 100 hours. If she takes them out of the system, how will she replace the hours? That does not stack up. It is...

- Order of Business (26 May 2009)
James Reilly: Over 20,000 people have been treated worldwide with cord cells and stem cells from cord blood and from the cord itself, yet in Ireland it is not possible to store the cord or the cord blood.

James Reilly: I support my colleague's amendment. The real danger concerns the assessment of people. What will meet requirements today will not do so tomorrow as the money runs out and the threshold for high dependency will rise, unless it is strictly laid down - which is something we shall address later - and there is independent assessment.
