Jim Daly: The negotiations are continuing. There are two sides to the negotiations, the GPs and the Government. All of us want to see these negotiations come to a satisfactory conclusion as soon as possible. We acknowledge that GPs are working under a contract that predates many of them entering the service. It goes back to 1973 and is not fit for purpose. The Government is committed to it both...

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Statements (31 Jan 2019)

Jim Daly: I welcome the opportunity to discuss the important issue of developing mental health policies and services for young people, particularly child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS.

This applies particularly to vulnerable young people who must...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Mental Health Services Provision (5 Feb 2019)

Jim Daly: The short answer is "Yes". I was out there today and met with the team. We have continued to engage with them. I must also compliment the HSE which has been successful in this project.

The completion date is...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Mental Health Services Provision (5 Feb 2019)

Jim Daly: I differ with the Deputy's view that this is not an increase in capacity. I accept that the ten CAMHS beds may not be an increase in capacity but the other 30 ICRU beds in that unit are intended to get people out of the system. We are not just building a prison; we are building a hospital that is transformative, where there is care and from where people will progress. That is why there...

In the past four years we have seen sustained investment in these services, with a considerable increase of nearly...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Home Care Packages Provision (5 Feb 2019)

Jim Daly: I would be the first to acknowledge that we will not meet the demand that will be there this year. We do not have an infinite budget and there are many competing demands that we discuss all day every day on the floor of this House such as more pay for the nurses, the drugs we want approved and so on. There are so many competing budgets, and this is just one more cog in that wheel, but...
