Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Cardiovascular Health, Stroke and Heart Attack: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Seán Kyne: Mr. O'Donnell talked about rehabilitation programmes in his opening statement, and "critically, ongoing psychological support". Can he elaborate on that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Cardiovascular Health, Stroke and Heart Attack: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Seán Kyne: The witnesses have mentioned prevention. Ministrokes are a precursor to a more serious stroke. Is there any way to get the message out in terms of the signs? You often hear that someone has had a stoke, and then they find out there was a series of ministrokes prior to that. Is there any way to get that message out?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Families for Reform of CAMHS (17 Jan 2024)

Seán Kyne: I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee and for their testimony and advocacy. This is the third meeting we have had on these topics in the previous year. This time last year both Ministers came before the committee. We have also had the Mental Health Commission before the committee and now we have the witnesses today. We need to follow up with another meeting with both...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Families for Reform of CAMHS (17 Jan 2024)

Seán Kyne: I will read some of what the Minister of State, Deputy Butler said at this time last year. She said: I have visited many CAMHS teams the length and breadth of the country in the past six months and was really struck by a young girl I met in Dundalk who came along with her mother. She had been in the care of CAMHS for four years, was almost 18 and was just exiting. She told me she had 96...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Families for Reform of CAMHS (17 Jan 2024)

Seán Kyne: It is often said of the health services that there is the waiting list but once people get in the door the service is good. The witnesses clearly have issues with staff changeover and with certain specialties not being available, so what I have said about the health services is not the case and not the view they have.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Families for Reform of CAMHS (17 Jan 2024)

Seán Kyne: Last year, the Minister for Health said that additional funding and support from the Government turned into a 21% increase in the number of new patients being seen but that the problem was that demand for services rose by 33% during the same period. That funding resources and staffing have not kept pace with demand is clearly an issue from what the witnesses have said. The issue of CAMHS...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Families for Reform of CAMHS (17 Jan 2024)

Seán Kyne: Would the witnesses be able to extrapolate and estimate the number of children with autism who are on the waiting list of 4,400? Are they included in it? I presume they cannot be included if CAMHS has no intention of taking them because they have been diagnosed with autism.

Seán Kyne: I join others in congratulating Senators Carrigy, Ardagh, Wall and other members of the autism committee on their leadership and advocacy in regard to these Houses becoming an autism-friendly Parliament. I concur with the suggestion that this should be rolled out to all local authorities and Government buildings. It becomes a cliché to talk about balanced regional development. I have...
