Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Recruitment, Retention and Manpower Planning Issues: Irish College of General Practitioners (14 Dec 2022)

Gino Kenny: Other Deputies and I have been contacted about the difficulties in gaining access to a GP, even in very urban areas. In the past year, I have received a fair few emails just about seeing a GP where I live, Dublin Mid-West. There are people who have contacted 15 or 20 practices but who have not been taken by them. This is a huge issue. I am not blaming the witnesses, obviously, because...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Facing Emergency Departments in Public Hospitals: HSE (17 Jan 2023)

Gino Kenny: I thank Mr. Mulvany for his statement. Obviously, we should not be having this meeting. It is a perpetual cycle that we have a constant crisis in our health service, and especially at this time of year. Some of the scenes people must endure and the staff must endure in emergency departments are completely unacceptable. Anybody who looks upon these extremely stressful situations, or finds...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Facing Emergency Departments in Public Hospitals: HSE (17 Jan 2023)

Gino Kenny: We all understand that. Forty years ago, there were more beds in the public health service than there are now. That tells you everything. The national crisis management team and the winter oversight group was convened on 22 December for the reasons Mr. Mulvany outlined. How long will this kind of amalgamation meet? How long will this crisis management team continue to meet with regard to...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Jan 2023)

Gino Kenny: On Tuesday last, the HSE addressed the Joint Committee on Health on the ongoing crisis in our emergency departments. As we know, hundreds of people have been left on trolleys in public hospitals. This is a perpetual crisis that happens every year and it is completely unacceptable in a country that is quite wealthy. This is obviously a legacy issue related to capacity, given that 40 years...

Gino Kenny: The programme for Government states that a national director for mental health would be reinstated and would directly report to the CEO of the HSE.

Interim Report on Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Statements (26 Jan 2023)

Gino Kenny: I welcome this debate and the Mental Health Commission's interim report. It makes for very stark reading, to say the least. The issue of no clinical oversight is at the heart of the report. That is what it comes down to. That branches out to underfunding and understaffing, which is an indictment of mental health services for young people. Young people make up 25% of the population....
