Vote 38 - Health
Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed) (2 Feb 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: I want to get to two areas so I will cut myself off five minutes in and move to a different area. I will ask about the children's hospital. I took note of what was said in previous contributions. Will the witnesses confirm when the substantial completion will be finished? I do not need a precise date but a month.

Neasa Hourigan: I am looking for the date for substantial completion and not when all the commissioning will have taken place. That is the first thing. I am trying to get a timeline in place for substantial completion. I have a tendency to refer to everything as commissioning but I would like to understand the commissioning period in respect of physical equipping, including the equipping of theatres.

Neasa Hourigan: I know. For argument's sake, let us say that the date for substantial completion is June 2024. Would all equipping be completed six months after that?

Neasa Hourigan: No, that is not my question. Last week, the health committee heard about the digital strategy for the national children's hospital - I have received this information a number of times through parliamentary questions - and how the hospital would be incredible and high-tech. However, I noticed in the capital funding figures that we are meant to be discussing at this meeting, that it is not...

Neasa Hourigan: CHI drew down €135,000 in 2021 and €489,000 in 2020 for digital or ICT purposes, but I presume that funding related to the satellite hospitals. To Mr. Mulvany's knowledge, has it drawn down any funding for digital planning or commissioning within the national children's hospital?

Neasa Hourigan: I am watching the clock ticking down. I am asking these questions because we on the health committee heard last week that, despite Deputies like me asking parliamentary questions about when we were going to get digital health records, given that they are such an important part of Sláintecare's roll-out, there would only be digital records in the national children's hospital, this...

Neasa Hourigan: I have gone over my five minutes on this issue. We have not dreamed up this technology. It is operating in other countries. We could examine their findings. I understand that we have a health system that has more complexity in the form of sections 38 and 39 organisations, but if we will only be at the stage of examining the business case in 2025 because the Department of Public...

Neasa Hourigan: I would have expected the Department of Health to tell the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform that its 2018 refusal was ridiculous and that the Department of Health would not accept it. As I understand the matter, the Department of Health has not even started to update the business case. It has accepted the link.
