Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 38 - Health (Further Revised) (19 Apr 2023)

Vote 38 - Health (Further Revised) (19 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: It strikes me as bizarre that we have to keep pushing and asking and then getting half answers. Surely it is reasonable for the Opposition to ask for simple information that should be provided quickly.

Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 38 - Health (Further Revised) (19 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: Surely the Department would know how much it cost. There is a problem if it does not. It is not about what we will do in the future but about what we have done. How many beds were delivered over the last five years and how much did they cost?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: Before I go into the substance of this session on hospital overcrowding, I have questions on two other matters for the Minister.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: Could I also ask the Minister about the report into the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018, which is being published today?

Whatever legislative change...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: Can I come to some of the proposals and solutions? I accept there has been some progress but it is quite limited given the major increase that we have seen since 2015. We certainly have a long way to go to get anywhere near the Sláintecare targets. I want to come to some of the solutions, because they are important. Of course, I welcome the rapid build plan for beds, and the 1,500...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: We will wait and see what comes to Cabinet. We need that to happen very quickly. What is the indicative timeframe for the delivery of the elective-only hospitals? There is a lot of talk about these hospitals. We all support them, whatever about the locations that some people might have their own views on. What is the timeframe for their delivery? I want to make a final point to the...
