Rose Conway Walsh: Time is of the essence, particularly for the two children in County Mayo. Obviously, I am concerned about all of the children involved but I see the two children in Mayo and the way in which they are shutting down. We are all parents.

Rose Conway Walsh: Spinraza is part of the BeNeLuxA agreement and arrangement. Is that correct?

Rose Conway Walsh: It would be wholly unacceptable if it was deemed to be cost-effective in Britain and was not deemed cost-effective here. I need the right decision to be made as quickly as possible. I will ask about the valproate response project and the rapid assessment report. I was disappointed that the Minister, or a representative of his, was not at the recent conference with the HSE and the...

Rose Conway Walsh: I ask the Minister to keep an open mind on the matter but I would like a decision to be made on it as soon as possible. Imagine the anxiety of mothers and parents who knowingly took Epilim and the impact it had. The causation and links have been clearly established in the British Medical Journaland in other published writings and documents. The impact that Epilim had on babies is beyond doubt.

Rose Conway Walsh: Yes.

Rose Conway Walsh: I have many more questions to ask.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (22 May 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: We need to get to the bottom of these issues because they are really important. I am also concerned about the number of misdiagnoses I am coming across. Let us take the example of a woman who is diagnosed with depression and finds out, after months of treatment, that she has stage 4 cancer. I come across this almost daily. It is apart from the CervicalCheck scandal that continues. As late...

Rose Conway Walsh: Maybe if we can be clear on how we capture the data to measure it.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (22 May 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: I do not want to concentrate only on screening but the difficulty is when they go back and say they have symptoms and this is ignored and ignored and then they find out they have cancer. The difficulty in misdiagnosis to which I refer is the number of people who are turned away from hospitals; these are people who present and are told to go home, and they present again because of symptoms...

Rose Conway Walsh: I need Dr. Henry to answer this.

Rose Conway Walsh: I am concerned about patterns and the trend.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (22 May 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: I want to come in on a couple of primary care issues. I agree with Dr. Henry about the alignment between primary care and front-line care. Until we get proper congruence there, we are not going to have an effective system. Indeed, it will be a waste of money because people will present at acute hospitals when they could be looked after in primary care. A lot of it comes down to home help...

Rose Conway Walsh: I will give Ms O'Connor the details, but that is an example of what is coming back to me from people who are being refused. That is apart from those who have been approved as needing home help but cannot access it. I am out canvassing the doors at this time and I met somebody who was born in 1929 and said, "If I could only get another 15 minutes...". She has half an hour for four days a...

Rose Conway Walsh: I will do so, if Ms O'Connor does not mind. It is not even about recycling hours; it is about recycling minutes. There was a good home help system in place where people were allocated hours and home help staff were directly employed by the HSE. They were paid properly, paid for their mileage and all of that. Now we have home helps criss-crossing country areas to do minutes here and...

Rose Conway Walsh: Yes.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (22 May 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: That puts people's lives at risk but it also puts people in the situation where they have to call ambulances.

Rose Conway Walsh: If Ms O'Connor would do so, I would appreciate it. Has a capital allocation been made for Bangor Erris primary care centre?
