- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Róisín Shortall: I want to know why these posts were not recruited.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Róisín Shortall: We know that almost 23,000 people are waiting for outpatient appointments with queried neurological conditions. It is not good enough for Mr. Gloster to say he does not know what happened because these are real people's lives that are directly impacted by the failure of the HSE in this. I accept Mr. Gloster is not in a position to answer on what happened in the early part of last year but...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Róisín Shortall: -----and it is disgraceful figure. What I am saying is this it is the scale of people who have not yet been assessed.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Róisín Shortall: How is it that more than half of the approved posts remain vacant? It is a basic question.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Róisín Shortall: No, sorry.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Róisín Shortall: That is not good enough. We have had a number of sessions of this committee about it. There have been umpteen parliamentary questions. There are thousands of people depending on the HSE doing what it is funded to do.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Róisín Shortall: That is utterly unacceptable. I do not know how many times this issue has come up here and in the Dáil. Umpteen questions have been tabled. It is simply not good enough that we are being told the HSE has to take it away and see what happened. It is just not good enough.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Róisín Shortall: Perhaps Mr. Gloster can tell us exactly where we are going from here on these 12 outstanding posts.

Róisín Shortall: With all due respect, it is the job of the management to sort these things out and pick up on mistakes that are made.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Róisín Shortall: It should certainly have been picked up long before now. This is the point I am making. Will Mr. Gloster outlined to us what steps will now be taken to fast-track their recruitment of the 12 neurological nursing posts?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Róisín Shortall: I have had to devote all my time to that. I will come back in later to ask about two other issues.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Róisín Shortall: I thank the witnesses for the presentation. I want to stick with the issue of neurological services. I want to tease through what has happened in recent years. Many thousands of people have neurological conditions in this country, such as Parkinson's disease, MS and epilepsy. Many of these conditions are extremely debilitating if they are not diagnosed and treated early. They can have...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Róisín Shortall: Dr. Burke is going to send us details of the different CAMHS teams, the number of vacancies and what kinds of vacancies there are in each area. There is other information that we will also need. We have all been in touch with Families for Reform of CAMHS. The information they are feeding back to us regarding the experiences of families is quite shocking. The other piece of information...

Róisín Shortall: Has it been approved by Government?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Róisín Shortall: We are talking about the capital plan for 2024 coming out in the second half of the year, which is strange. We are into the second half of the year now.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Róisín Shortall: It just seems incredible that it is July and we have not seen the capital plan yet. Primary care centres are obviously a critical element of the roll-out of proper community services and a switch to the Sláintecare model. I have a fundamental problem with the approach the HSE is taking with regard to the different methods of procurement. If you look at highly disadvantaged areas,...
