Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Children's Hospital (21 Sep 2023)

David Cullinane: My first question relates to the national children's hospital. Related issues have now come to light in respect of children's healthcare, which I will raise shortly. My fundamental question is whether a handover date has been agreed between the board and the developer. Can the Minister of State confirm what that new handover date for the children's hospital will be?

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Children's Hospital (21 Sep 2023)

David Cullinane: It is quite incredible that we still do not know what the handover or completion date will be and, even though an updated programme of works has been submitted to the board, that date has not been made public. It is in the public interest to do so, given all the controversies relating to this issue. We know that one of the big advantages of the new national children's hospital will be...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Children's Hospital (21 Sep 2023)

David Cullinane: I cannot accept that everything possible has been done given that under freedom of information, FOI, requests and information submitted to me, we found out that the Minister did not meet with the board for the entirety of 2022, or for the first and second quarters of 2023. He had informal conversations with representatives of the board, which is not acceptable given the seriousness of these...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Health Strategies (21 Sep 2023)

David Cullinane: We need a multi-annual plan for the health services. We know there is a crisis in emergency departments, with people waiting too long. There are almost 900,000 people or more on waiting lists when one includes diagnostic waiting times, acute hospitals and community waiting lists. There are problems in children's healthcare. A multi-annual plan is needed. I have been calling for one for...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Health Strategies (21 Sep 2023)

David Cullinane: I have met with dozens of hospital managers, front-line healthcare staff and advocate groups in recent months. They all talk about plans they have submitted for new beds in hospitals, surgical theatre capacity and diagnostic capacity, all of which are necessary to reduce wait times in hospitals. The same can be said in mental health, where there are many buildings that are simply not fit...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Health Strategies (21 Sep 2023)

David Cullinane: While I respect the Ministers of State who are present and we all understand why the Minister for Health travelled, I again make the point to the Leas-Cheann Comhairle that a real crisis has unfolded at Temple Street hospital but there have been no statements on the matter this week in the Dáil. I asked questions on one of the most important issues facing the Department, that is, to get...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Facilities (21 Sep 2023)

David Cullinane: I welcome the second cath lab. It is a fantastic development and real progress for cardiac services in Waterford and the south east. It was one of those issues on which all Oireachtas Members in Waterford campaigned very hard over a long number of years, and indeed colleagues who are no longer in the House. I commend everyone involved in that. It is also real progress that we will get to...
