Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Park-and-Ride Facilities (3 Mar 2022)

John Lahart: With the approval of the House, we will step back to Questions Nos. 11 and 12. This means that, if other Deputies do not turn up, the last question we take will probably be No. 17 in the name of Deputy O'Rourke. I do not think we will get to any more.

Committee Report on Key Issues Affecting the Traveller Community: Statements (3 Mar 2022)

John Lahart: I am glad to have the opportunity to speak today. I congratulate Senator Flynn not only on her contribution to the report but on her contribution to the Seanad. In no particular order, I was struck by a number of things. I served as a county councillor on South Dublin County Council along with Deputies Ward and Ó Broin, although I was there before either of them. As such I was...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: South Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: HSE (2 Mar 2022)

John Lahart: I thank the HSE team. I wish to recap and refresh my memory. I thank the witnesses for attending and for the work they have done, in particular, those who were involved in the Maskey report. The look-back review was formally commissioned by the chief officer for Cork-Kerry community healthcare organisation following an audit of case files. Was that an audit of sample files or a full audit?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: South Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: HSE (2 Mar 2022)

John Lahart: That is useful information. Sample files were, therefore, taken and the Maskey report was initiated as a result of findings of that. Arising out of that, there was a look-back review, of which details have been given, to consider potential issues relating to clinical practice in regard to prescribing, care planning, diagnostics and clinical supervision specifically in Kerry. I want to move...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: South Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: HSE (2 Mar 2022)

John Lahart: That is positive news. I thank Dr. Young for her presence this morning, given that she is out on sick leave. I appreciate that. Moving on to what for me is the important piece, Ms O'Connor stated that the HSE acknowledges in the report that the scope of the look-back review is confined to practices in south Kerry CAMHS. She noted that the HSE also appreciates that the Maskey report can...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: South Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: HSE (2 Mar 2022)

John Lahart: If Dr. Maskey is recommending an independent random sample but Ms. O'Connor is saying the process is beginning only with young people who presented with ADHD, that is not really random. Is that correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: South Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: HSE (2 Mar 2022)

John Lahart: I know, but the HSE is initially only targeting those with ADHD. That is not what happened in Kerry, where there was an examination of a random sample of files. They were not just ADHD files. I am concerned that the HSE will look at just the ADHD files and, if it makes findings that are negative - I hope they will be positive rather than negative - it will only pursue the ADHD avenue. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: South Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: HSE (2 Mar 2022)

John Lahart: I will finish on this point because I am running out of time. What made the Maskey report on Kerry ostensibly successful was that there was a random examination that was not confined to ADHD. Notwithstanding what Dr. Maskey has recommended, that process seemed to work well, so why not start with that process across other CAMHS areas? Take a random sample of files, do not focus exclusively...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: South Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: HSE (2 Mar 2022)

John Lahart: I never push it, Chair,-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: South Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: HSE (2 Mar 2022)

John Lahart: -----but will we ever get an audit of non-ADHD presenting conditions in terms of inappropriate prescriptions?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: South Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: HSE (2 Mar 2022)

John Lahart: Only then will the HSE consider a broader audit.
