Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for the opportunity to update the House on the work being carried out by the commission of investigation into certain matters relevant to disability services in the south east, and related matters, also known as the Farrelly commission. At the outset, it is important to note that I am mindful this is an active commission of investigation and that the commission is...

Farrelly Commission of Investigation Substantive Interim Reports: Statements (11 Nov 2021)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Ceann Comhairle and all Members for their contributions. I acknowledge that my opening statement was scant. I do acknowledge that. Perhaps it gives me the opportunity to address all of the issues that were raised. I have to remind myself because sometimes I sail a little bit close to the wind in my commentary. Today it is about the commission. At the outset, it is...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Disability Services (11 Nov 2021)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Deputy for raising this matter. I like how he said he wishes to discuss this issue, and that is exactly how he laid it out this evening. The response I have is totally different from the answer needed to how the Deputy has presented this topic. He is right: we do not do enough transition planning for where young people transition from second level education, whether it be in a...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Disability Services (11 Nov 2021)

Anne Rabbitte: I again thank the Deputy. Under the national disability inclusion strategy, issues facing people with disabilities such as transport issues must be addressed on a cross-Government basis. These issues do not, and should not, fit into the Department of Health alone. There should also be conversations with the Department of Transport to ensure that, when a national transport policy is being...

Anne Rabbitte: A Review of Disability Social Care Demand and Capacity Requirements up to 2032, was published by myself, Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly and Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth Roderic O’Gorman on 15th July 2021. It is important to note that the Report quantifies and costs future need for disability support services from a 2018 baseline, and not a...

This includes diabetic services. It is clear that significant efforts are being made to ensure such services are being progressively developed at the University Limerick Hospitals Group. The group is...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Health Services (16 Nov 2021)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Senator again for raising the topic of diabetes. It is incredibly timely, especially in view of the fact that we celebrated World Diabetes Day last Sunday. I am taking this question on behalf of the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly. Some of the questions the Senator asked reach into other areas of health and I will hopefully get the chance to respond to them when I have read...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Health Services (16 Nov 2021)

Anne Rabbitte: It would not be within my gift to put a timeline on it. The Minister, Deputy Donnelly, would have to speak to that piece. The Senator was correct in saying funding has been allocated for the e-budget. However, when there is a slippage in the numbers the Senator mentioned, one would have to ask how that happened and what the long-term costing of care is within that. Is our system not...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Healthcare Policy (16 Nov 2021)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Senator for raising this Commencement matter. I am taking it on behalf of the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly. As the Senator will be aware, publication of the assisted human reproduction legislation is a priority for the Department and the Government and a commitment to enact the legislation is included in the programme for Government, Our Shared Future. The Department...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Healthcare Policy (16 Nov 2021)

Anne Rabbitte: It is not possible to give a definite timeline for the completion of the AHR Bill and its subsequent passage through the Houses of the Oireachtas. However, as the Senator said, it is on the priority list for drafting and publication during the current term. I understand intensive work on the Bill is being undertaken by officials to finalise the legislation before the end of this year....

Anne Rabbitte: I thank Senator Boyhan for raising this Commencement matter today and I thank the Cathaoirleach for selecting it. The Senator has a direct question that quite rightly, deserves a direct response. The Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, and his officials are actively considering the contents of the report in advance of bringing it to Government and publishing it. The Minister intends to engage with...
