Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Independent Advocacy Services for Health Service Users: Discussion (26 Nov 2015)

Dan Neville: We heard from several organisations today which are all doing very good work, and their representatives made very good presentations. I do not know how many more such organisations there are from which we have not heard. I would like to ask about the diversity of the organisations. There is obviously a similarity among them due to the fact that they are engaged in the same work, but now...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: HIV Incidence in Ireland: Discussion (1 Dec 2015)

Dan Neville: I welcome the presentations. One of the biggest challenges has been highlighting the stigma. That is the most difficult thing to change, as we have seen in the area of mental ill-health. It can even be subtle: where people know that someone is HIV-positive and say they do not have a problem with that, why would they have to say so if they really did not have a problem? It is ingrained...

Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2015: Report and Final Stages (2 Dec 2015)

Dan Neville: I welcome the passing of this Bill. I want to use the opportunity to briefly raise an issue I raised previously, namely, the cover provided by the health insurance companies for mental health inpatient services. There seems to be discrimination in the approach of the insurance companies to coverage for mental health inpatient services. For example, the Voluntary Health Insurance, VHI,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Sustainable Development Goals and Disability Issues: Discussion (2 Dec 2015)

Dan Neville: I welcome the witnesses and thank them for their presentation. This important area has been neglected over the decades. Those of us who have travelled to Third World countries with Irish Aid have seen some examples of that neglect. I would like to raise two particular issues, the first of which is Irish Aid's approach to the treatment of intellectual disability in developing countries....

Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2008 [Seanad]: Second Stage (8 Dec 2015)

Dan Neville: I welcome the Bill, which has been in gestation for seven years, and the Minister of State's decision to progress it. ECT is a controversial issue and, in that respect, the removal of the "unwilling" category from the 2001 Act is important. The question of medical professionals involving, consulting and informing mentally ill people has been neglected in psychiatry for decades, if not...

Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2008 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Dec 2015)

Dan Neville: I welcome the passage of the Bill. The removal of the word "unwilling" is very welcome. Now, the term is "willing." This involves consultation in all aspects of the treatment of patients with mental health illness by those providing services. I trust it will ensure a consciousness within the mental health services of the need to consult patients and their carers in respect of the treatment...
