Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: One of the reasons I asked that the witnesses come before the committee is so that we can understand their point of view. They have not had that opportunity. The witnesses undertook a root-and-branch review in Oberstown. They should have included policy in that if we are to learn from it. The recommendations have no context unless there is a consideration of policy and outlining who is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: It is complete madness. We have used taxpayers' money to pay for a root-and-branch report into a unit that is supposed to look after our young people, which is also funded by taxpayers' money. There is what may be a good piece of work that would be a valuable tool. The Health Information and Quality Authority, HIQA, report was mentioned in the opening statements and I have it before me....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank the members of the board for appearing before the committee. From my point of view as a member of the Oireachtas committee on children, the purpose of the review was that it would be the safety net for the committee and that independent external assessors would do a review of Oberstown. As Professor Kilkelly stated, this is the fourth time she has appeared before the committee. The...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Oberstown Children Detention Campus Operational Review Report: Discussion (30 Jan 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: I do not need reassurance. What I need to know is that the children who go to Oberstown are treated correctly because the HIQA reports coming to me year on year do not give me that comfort. They do not provide me with any reassurance. I feel that a complete cover-up is taking place, and one that has gone on for the past number of years. The fact that there would be independent involvement...

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Statements (31 Jan 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank Deputy Browne for sharing his time. I will focus on a major issue with children's mental health and disability teams in Galway. While the figures seem to indicate that CHO2 is brilliant, those figures are distorted. They relate to the intellectual services and the disability services within those. Last April, a meeting was held in Merlin Park to deal with children who were...

Equality (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No. 2) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (31 Jan 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank Deputy Browne for sharing his time and for bringing forward the Bill. It has been a good day in the House where we had a lot of discussion, first, with statements on CAMHS earlier and now this Equality (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No. 2) Bill 2017. Fianna Fáil is bringing forward this Bill to end discrimination against those who suffer with mental health issues. The Equality...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Waiting Lists (5 Feb 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: The Minister's response is very welcome. There are long waiting lists of 12 months or more in many outpatient departments: urology, orthopaedics, paediatrics, plastic surgery, respiratory, dermatology and gynaecology. This comes up daily in my clinic as people try to get their first appointment. People are very frustrated. If the Minister could link with, and make a priority of, the...
