Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Rare Diseases: Discussion (26 May 2021)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Impact of Covid-19 on Cancer Services: Discussion (2 Jun 2021)

Seán Crowe: The difficulty with chairing this section is that it is in ten-minute slots and then it goes to seven minutes, meaning that the longer the answer is, the less opportunity that other members or witnesses will have to come in. It is difficult to try to chair it on Teams. I ask everybody to bear with us and hopefully everybody who wants to come in will get in.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Impact of Covid-19 on Cancer Services: Discussion (2 Jun 2021)

Seán Crowe: We will discuss that at the next private meeting.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Impact of Covid-19 on Cancer Services: Discussion (2 Jun 2021)

Seán Crowe: Has Deputy Crowe finished his questions?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Impact of Covid-19 on Cancer Services: Discussion (2 Jun 2021)

Seán Crowe: In response to Professor Landers's point, for anyone watching this morning, the lack of joined-up thinking comes across very strongly. In some areas, we have the equipment but we do not have the staff. We heard Dr. Kilgallen talk about having surgeons who only get a half day of surgery a week and the danger of people deskilling or leaving the health service. From a personal position, I have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Impact of Covid-19 on Cancer Services: Discussion (2 Jun 2021)

Seán Crowe: On that point, there are lessons we can learn post Covid. For instance, 40 people can get an invitation to see a consultant at 9.30 a.m. and another 40 in the afternoon. Maybe we can do things differently in that regard and make better use of consultants' time. The phone call idea for a consultation can work in many cases. It is probably not the same as meeting the consultant or doctor...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Impact of Covid-19 on Cancer Services: Discussion (2 Jun 2021)

Seán Crowe: Two of my colleagues, Deputies Durkan and Colm Burke, are looking to come in but I am over time with the Covid regulations. Unfortunately, I will not be able to bring them in. I thank everyone for their attendance. I am conscious that there is a cost factor with cancer and we really did not get into that today. I thank all of our witnesses. This concludes the committee's business.

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (17 Jun 2021)

Seán Crowe: I was recently informed by the HSE that CHO 7, which includes my constituency, Dublin South-West, the waiting time for speech and language therapy was at 38 months. Occupational therapy was at 27 months and a psychological assessment was 32 months. The Tánaiste will probably recall that I raised this issue in the previous Dáil and in this Dáil. We appear to have a broken...

Agreed.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Sláintecare: Department of Health (9 Jun 2021)

Seán Crowe: I welcome our witnesses to this meeting. They will provide us with an update on the implementation of Sláintecare. I should also mention that the Sláintecare Implementation Strategy and Action Plan 2021-2023 was published last month and makes for interesting reading. I welcome, from the Sláintecare programme implementation office in the Department of Health, Ms Laura Magahy,...
