- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: I thank our guests for attending today. As always, I acknowledge the work they do continually on behalf of our health system. Mr. Reid has just alluded to Covid. It certainly has not gone away. That nearly 500 people are Covid-positive in hospital all the time is very serious. The public sometimes loses sight of that fact. It is important that we continue to remind them that this...

Martin Conway: Policy leads to practice.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: On another point, on the regional health areas, how will it impact positively on reducing waiting lists by comparison with what is happening now?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: Again, people have a realistic assumption that that would be happening anyway. Let me move on to the situation in the mid-west, specifically around the UL Hospitals Group. Deputy Cullinane received a very interesting response to a parliamentary question he submitted. While the average waiting time is 11 hours, in Limerick University Hospital it is 15 hours, which means people in Limerick...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: Have any discussions, even informal ones, taken place with the private healthcare system or providers on the establishment of an elective facility in the mid-west?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: There has been informal contact between the HSE and the private sector to explore, or at least have preliminary discussions on, the possibility of a facility in the mid-west. Is that correct?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: I understand the review taking place in the hospital in Limerick is coming to an end and the work is almost done. Perhaps Mr. Reid will share with us some of the findings or outline the briefings he has received. This is clearly a live situation as there are in excess of 100 people on trolleys in the hospital almost every day, even though we are in the summer period. What information on...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 Jul 2022)
Martin Conway: I, too, I agree with Senator Flynn in that anybody who can attend the debate next Tuesday to voice support should do so. It is what we should be doing here in Seanad Éireann. I look forward to the debate very much. It would be a good idea to have, at some stage in the autumn, an extensive debate on dementia. Like some of my colleagues, I attended the briefing held across the road by...
- Joint Committee On Health: Resourcing and the Provision of Services at the Linn Dara CAMHS Unit: Discussion (28 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: I thought Linn Dara would have been included in that review.
- Joint Committee On Health: Resourcing and the Provision of Services at the Linn Dara CAMHS Unit: Discussion (28 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: It is only for information purposes. There is no agenda. Everyone was discussing what happened in Tralee. I am sure the witnesses were as well. I am just giving them an opportunity to tell us if they have engaged with the national review, which we are told has been rolled out. What level of engagement did they have with it? Have they altered or changed any of their services as a result?
- Joint Committee On Health: Resourcing and the Provision of Services at the Linn Dara CAMHS Unit: Discussion (28 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: We cannot lose sight of how important that work is for preventing any repetition of what happened in Tralee. There are two high-dependency CAMHS beds, eight specialist beds and 14 acute emergency beds at Linn Dara. What is the average turnover time for users admitted to the 14 acute emergency beds?
- Joint Committee On Health: Resourcing and the Provision of Services at the Linn Dara CAMHS Unit: Discussion (28 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: To those 14 beds specifically.
- Joint Committee On Health: Resourcing and the Provision of Services at the Linn Dara CAMHS Unit: Discussion (28 Jun 2022)

- Joint Committee On Health: Resourcing and the Provision of Services at the Linn Dara CAMHS Unit: Discussion (28 Jun 2022)
Martin Conway: Are the two beds at 100% capacity? What would be the percentage capacity over a 12-month period?
