Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Effects of Long Covid and Provision of Long Covid Care: Engagement with Dr. John Lambert (6 Jul 2022)

David Cullinane: No. He also says that-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Effects of Long Covid and Provision of Long Covid Care: Engagement with Dr. John Lambert (6 Jul 2022)

David Cullinane: Dr. Lambert also reviewed the draft long Covid guidelines the HSE has put in place. He says they focus on early post-Covid-19 follow-up with a group of pulmonary specialists, a cadre of dieticians and podiatrists but no mention of psychologists. He said he was surprised the Mater infectious diseases unit was not included as a site for follow-up, despite generating much of the scientific...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Effects of Long Covid and Provision of Long Covid Care: Engagement with Dr. John Lambert (6 Jul 2022)

David Cullinane: Given that as Dr. Lambert has said, a lot of the focus seems to be on issues relating to the heart and other areas, and not the main issues that he has identified, does he believe that the current model of care that is in place is sufficient?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Effects of Long Covid and Provision of Long Covid Care: Engagement with Dr. John Lambert (6 Jul 2022)

David Cullinane: I am out of time. I wish to make a final point. I agree with everything Dr. Lambert has said in his opening statement. He has stated that the accumulating evidence is that the lungs and heart are healing but the brain is not healing. That is substantially where the problem is. Even though a lot of clinics are being set up, if they are not dealing with the neurological issues then we are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

David Cullinane: I thank our guests for the comprehensive opening statements and information they have given us. This is a very good session. I commend Senator Conway on pushing us to hold this session and invite our guests to appear as witnesses. What struck me about the statements is that they point out challenges but are full of solutions. The latter is important for us because it makes our job easier....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

David Cullinane: Is NCBI a section 39 organisation?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

David Cullinane: I have noticed on the NCBI website recently that there seems to be a high staff turnover in the context some positions, such as, for example, community resource workers. One of the issues that comes up all the time with section 39 workers - we see it in children disability network teams - is that there are HSE employees and section 39 workers doing exactly the same work and part of the same...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

David Cullinane: How important are the ECLOs?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

David Cullinane: I got my figure from a reply to a parliamentary question yesterday. I will send Professor Keegan that response to see if we are getting the full information. Whatever about the actual figure, what is problematic for me is the length of time that people are waiting. Of those 21,798 people, 10,543 have been waiting for more than 12 months. Typically, what would be the common complications...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

David Cullinane: My time is limited. I will ask one more question and give the remainder of my time to Professor Keegan to answer it. It is very important in the context of healthcare reform, Sláintecare and the establishment of regional health areas. We are getting a briefing today from the Department on the establishment of regional health areas. Professor Keegan's presentation was very interesting...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

David Cullinane: This is important for us when we look at the health service in general and wider integration, which we will discuss in more detail with the HSE later. The witnesses referred to integrating IT systems. This is very important for sharing patient data. What have been the challenges with the systems speaking to each other, given that six distinct organisations with their own systems are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

David Cullinane: Best wishes to all the staff at NCBI in the work they do. I have met Mr. Mullaniff a few times, and I know great work is being done. The waiting list figures that Professor Keegan provided in his written submission are actually different to the figures I have. I am not sure if I got the full information from the HSE, but I cannot see how the figures could be so dramatically out as much...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: South Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: HSE (2 Mar 2022)

David Cullinane: Why not? I do not understand why it is not appropriate to answer those questions. That process can be ongoing. There are many processes ongoing. There is going to be an audit into all CAMHS services. We are asking questions on other issues when there are processes ongoing as well. It strikes me again that this is the first opportunity members have had to put questions about what happened...
