Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

Gino Kenny: I thank our guests for their attendance. Regionalisation is a good thing but most of the people watching these proceedings want to know whether it will deliver in respect of community care, primary care and overall healthcare. It is extremely important that delivery is at the heart of regionalisation. Accountability and democratisation are very important in the context of healthcare. My...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

Gino Kenny: When is it expected that regionalisation will be fully implemented? Obviously, it will take years. Is there a timeline for when regionalisation will have an impact on people's lives?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

Gino Kenny: Mr. Reid is saying it is happening already and it will be incremental until it is fully functional. I am guessing it will take several years, however, until the six regions and the 96 CHNs are up and running and fully functional.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

Gino Kenny: Does Mr. Reid believe this will have an impact on waiting times? Obviously, nearly 1 million people awaiting procedures is just not acceptable. I know there have been mitigating circumstances. I understand that. For a person awaiting an operation to be told he or she will be waiting four or five years for a procedure is just not acceptable. Can the HSE, through regionalisation or...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

Gino Kenny: My final question is for Mr. Reid. It concerns several statements over the weekend by two unions, namely the Irish Medical Organisation, IMO, and the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, INMO. Their statements were about the long working hours of their members. They expressed concerns over overcrowding in accident and emergency units and safe working conditions, not only for the members...

Cost of Disability: Motion [Private Members] (6 Jul 2022)

Gino Kenny: I thank the Social Democrats for tabling this motion. It is very worthwhile to debate what is going on with disability services. As the Minister of State knows, people who have a disability are twice as likely to face discrimination than me and her. That is a fact. They will face discrimination in respect of consistent poverty, deprivation, isolation, employment, access to public services...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (7 Jul 2022)

Gino Kenny: Yesterday Professor Jack Lambert addressed the health committee in relation to the effects of long Covid-19. He is an infectious disease consultant at the Mater hospital and he painted a stark picture in regard to those suffering the symptoms of long Covid-19. He was quite critical of the present policy around treating those with long Covid-19. He cited an ambivalence in relation to his...

Joint Committee On Health: Resourcing and the Provision of Services at the Linn Dara CAMHS Unit: Discussion (28 Jun 2022)

Gino Kenny: Okay. How confident is the HSE those 11 beds in Linn Dara will open come September?

Joint Committee On Health: Resourcing and the Provision of Services at the Linn Dara CAMHS Unit: Discussion (28 Jun 2022)

Gino Kenny: Okay. This is not a criticism. I understand there are mitigating circumstances in the health services and especially mental health ones. There are reasons this is happening but why was it not envisaged that this could happen again? It happened four or five years ago and the same situation has arisen again. Surely with facilities such as Linn Dara, which is a vital service, this is down...
