Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Amendment) Bill 2022: Department of Health (23 Nov 2022)

Gino Kenny: I thank the officials for their opening statement. This is good legislation that I hope will make the nursing home environment safer for everybody. I wish to pick up Deputy Hourigan's point about an unregistered premises. Will the officials give us an example of an unregistered nursing home setting? Have they ever come across that? It would seem that if something is not registered alarm...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Amendment) Bill 2022: Department of Health (23 Nov 2022)

Gino Kenny: That is fair enough. My next question is on the nursing home sector. It has evolved over the past 25 years. Back then, the vast majority of homes were publicly run but that is now reversed and the majority are privately-owned. Given the disparate nature of that sector, it is not surprising there is not much joined-up thinking and that, as Ms Casey said in her statement, it is very...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Amendment) Bill 2022: Department of Health (23 Nov 2022)

Gino Kenny: If there was more public ownership in this environment, there would be more joined-up thinking. One would think that. That was the weakness with what happened during the pandemic due, as I said, to the disparate nature of the nursing home sector. Out of the 570 registered premises in the nursing home sector, how many residents are in full-time care? Do the officials have that number?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Amendment) Bill 2022: Department of Health (23 Nov 2022)

Gino Kenny: How co-operative is the nursing home sector, especially the privately-owned portion, with the Department or HIQA in the collection of this kind of data, which is beneficial for the two bodies?

Drugs Policy: Motion [Private Members] (30 Nov 2022)

Gino Kenny: I welcome the motion and the good work of Deputy Ó Ríordáin on this matter. He has a good track record in dealing with the issues surrounding drug reform, which is very welcome. Reading the motion, you do not know whether to cry in despair or keep your head up pushing for reform. It is a damning indictment of successive Governments that what has occurred has been allowed to...

Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (1 Dec 2022)

Gino Kenny: I am disappointed that there is not a Minister with responsibility for the health portfolio here. It is not acceptable. We should have been notified before the debate. I am not blaming the Minister of State as I do not think he should be in this position, but we should have been told in advance that there would not be a Minister present. It makes a bit of a mockery of the debate really....

Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022)

Gino Kenny: I am sorry I had to leave earlier. I will have to leave again in a few minutes. I hope I am not repeating any questions that other members have asked. On the pandemic recognition payment, there was huge welcoming of it but the Government has made a dog's dinner of it, unfortunately. This relates especially to workers who are non-HSE, including private workers and those who work for...
