- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Medical Card Administration (23 Jan 2019)
Jim Daly: I thank the Senator for raising this matter. As she will be aware, under the Health Act 1970, as amended, eligibility for health services is based primarily on residency and means. The Act provides that all persons ordinarily resident in the country are eligible, subject to certain charges, to public inpatient hospital services. The current public hospital statutory inpatient charge is...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Medical Card Administration (23 Jan 2019)
Jim Daly: While I acknowledge the point the Senator is making, I emphasise that one does not need to be sick or be going to hospital in order to apply for a medical card. People are free to apply for medical cards on any given day and at any given time. They are encouraged to do so. Decisions are based on people's means.

At the end of the day, we have a finite budget. We have to take all of these factors into...

Jim Daly: I thank the Senator for raising this issue and giving me an opportunity to update the House on the provision of community nursing units at St. Patrick's Hospital in Carrick-on-Shannon and the Sacred Heart Hospital in Roscommon. The Government's overarching policy is to support older people to live in dignity and independence in their own homes and communities for as long as possible. While...

Jim Daly: There is no doubt about it.Senator Feighan could write the book on the politics of hospitals if anyone could. That is, he could write about getting them right. He had a great success story in Roscommon County Hospital. It was tough and arduous and many of us on the sidelines admired his tenacity in the face of a lot of opposition. He was on the side of right, for which politicians are not...

We discussed this issue, along with many other issues, challenges and successes involved with CAMHS. The issue of beds...

I may have an answer this afternoon. I do not want to build any expectations, but I will get an update this afternoon and will extend it to both Deputies. I appreciate where the Deputies are coming from, and I...
