Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: General Practitioner Services (20 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: My first question is in respect of the roll-out of free GP care. As the Minister will be aware, we discussed this at yesterday's meeting of the Joint Committee on Health. Will he give the House an update as to when the additional cards that were promised in budget 2023 will be delivered and the engagements he is having with the Irish Medical Organisation, IMO, to progress this matter?

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: General Practitioner Services (20 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: The date of 1 April was not a date that I set but was one that was set very clearly by the Minister in the budget for this year. Ministers make big announcements like this. It was a big announcement and it is significant that we are looking to expand free GP care to hundreds of thousands more citizens. It is something that I included in Sinn Féin’s alternative budget and is...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: General Practitioner Services (20 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: What we need more than ever now is a roadmap to full universal cover and an agreed timeframe with the representative bodies because for too long, we were trying to do this by age and have lengthy contracts with them, which actually did not work. The delivery of the free GP cards for six- and seven-year-olds was promised years ago and did not happen because of contractual disagreements and so...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Health Strategies (20 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: I am sure the Minister will agree that reducing the health waiting lists, the time people must wait for care and the time people must wait in emergency departments needs to be a Government priority. I strongly believe we need a multi-annual plan that considers capacity throughout the healthcare system. It should set out medium- and long-term goals to increase capacity and start meeting some...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Health Strategies (20 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: My point is not so much about the capacity review because beds comprise only one of the ingredients needed. Having spoken to many hospital managers and front-line healthcare staff, I realise that if we are to reduce waiting lists, we will need more beds. The reason there was such a wide range given for the number of beds that may be required, from 2,500 to 7,500, was the figure was...

David Cullinane: Hopefully if the electorate has good sense, I will be the Minister who produces that single piece of paper and plan that will deliver a lot of what the Minister talked about but that has not been delivered. All those ingredients are part of what is needed to reduce waiting lists because while there has been some positive movement in terms of long waiters, far too many people are still...
