Gino Kenny: There was very good news today for 35 children in the State who live with cystic fibrosis. The families and Cystic Fibrosis Ireland have fought very hard on the injustice of these 35 children not having access to certain drugs.

Health (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (22 Mar 2023)

Even the collection of these charges is an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Health Service Executive: Engagement with Chief Executive Officer (22 Mar 2023)

Gino Kenny: I welcome Mr. Gloster and wish him well in his new job. It is a mammoth task to say the least, but I wish him well, and I think I can say that on behalf of every member of the health committee.

Hopefully under Mr. Gloster's tenure, and with the help of all the front-line...

Gino Kenny: In his statement Mr. Gloster said something about the organisation being top heavy. We can perceive that in many ways. There is a perception out there that there is too much bureaucracy in the HSE when it comes to decision-making and accessibility for people who want to get healthcare.
