Children's Hospital Funding: Motion (23 Jun 2009)

Jan O'Sullivan: The Government prioritises getting the banking system right. This is obviously a priority for an economy. However, must it not also be a Government priority that sick children should not wait for an improvement in the system at some point in the future? Five years down the road, the improvements that were supposed to come about because of the HSE have not been implemented. If this is the...

Order of Business (24 Jun 2009)

Jan O'Sullivan: It is not agreed to. This Bill will be introduced late in the afternoon and is to be guillotined at 6 p.m. Apart from objecting to the guillotine, a totally new section has been introduced into the Bill which amends the Mental Health Act 2001. This new section has nothing to do with the rest of the Bill. It deals with the removal of persons to authorised centres and with authorising...

Order of Business (24 Jun 2009)

Jan O'Sullivan: As I understood the Taoiseach this morning when he replied to the leader of the Fine Gael Party, he suggested we should have a debate on health funding. Will he make time for such a debate, particularly in the context of Crumlin hospital-----

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages (24 Jun 2009)

Jan O'Sullivan: I object to the way in which this is being introduced. We were given these amendments yesterday. The substantial amendment, amendment No. 6, amends the Mental Health Act 2001. I went back to my file on the Mental Health Act 2001 and found that substantial concerns were raised by, for example, the National Disability Authority, Schizophrenia Ireland and a number of other organisations in...

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages (24 Jun 2009)

Jan O'Sullivan: Is the Ceann Comhairle suggesting that these amendments are in order, even though they did not arise from Committee Stage and that if we do not agree to recommitting them we will have to deal with them on Report Stage? I do not want to take up time. This is a procedural argument.

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages (24 Jun 2009)

Jan O'Sullivan: I thank the Minister of State for taking on board the point I made in amendment No. 3, which I will withdraw on that basis. The main points I wish to make are in regard to amendment No. 6 and the alteration and amendment of the Mental Health Act 2001. We have already expressed alarm, as I did this morning on the Order of Business, in regard to the recommittal and this way of amending...

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages (24 Jun 2009)

Jan O'Sullivan: I share the concerns expressed by Deputy Ó Caoláin. It appears there is not a registration system and that we will rely on HSE protocols. The legislation contains no requirement that the people concerned should be in any way professionally qualified. The Minister of State says he expects they will be and that the kind of people who do this work generally are. However, the legislation...
