- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) Seán Crowe: I have a couple of questions. To follow on with regard to the community nursing beds and the acute beds, a lot of the hospitals are facing a big challenge at the moment and we are only starting the flu season. It is not uncommon to increasingly see a huge number of ambulances outside hospitals. There is additional money in the winter plan and so on, but most of the hospitals are saying it...
- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) Seán Crowe: As with the acute beds, there is probably a lot being done. We need to do more, however, and that can be clearly seen. I have one more question on something that has not been touched on. We know from the large-scale cyberattack that huge investment is needed in IT systems. In addition, the patient identifier number scheme is coming online. There is no mention of sufficient funding in...

Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) Seán Crowe: I apologise to members for hogging the meeting but I have a last question on the national children's hospital. There is a story in some of the papers about additional funding there. Again, I do not see it under any subhead here. Significant money has been spent. The committee has visited the hospital and looked at ongoing progress. Is additional funding needed for that or is the existing...

- Building Defects: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (6 Dec 2022)
Seán Crowe: The Minister said he understood the problem. The next step is to try to resolve it. He said it cannot be done in a rushed fashion and he mentioned that it might take up to ten years. I do not think anyone I have talked to, and there are a number of affected residents in my constituency, including in Ballycullen, Citywest and Rathfarnham, can wait that long. They are terrified, afraid and...
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (7 Dec 2022)
Seán Crowe: There has been a change in relation to grants for people moving out of homeless accommodation into local authority or approved housing body accommodation. All applications from across Dublin are now being sent to a central hub and are no longer being dealt with by community welfare officers. This has resulted in applications taking up to 12 weeks, or three months, to process and is causing...
- Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (7 Dec 2022)
Seán Crowe: Most fair-minded people do not believe that doctors are infallible and they accept that mistakes are made. They are made every day, as we know, but doctors do not only make mistakes, and they make positive calls in regard to diagnosis in the majority of cases. What is galling for many people and what they do not accept is that the truth behind mistakes being made is denied to them. That is...
- Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (7 Dec 2022)
Seán Crowe: It is a little unsatisfactory. The way we do our business in this House is unsatisfactory at the best of times. The Minister was given additional time to explain his thinking within two minutes. He got another two minutes but it is still a bit unclear. I welcome the fact the Minister moved on the candour issue and that it will go to the Seanad. Like everything else we would like to see...

- Written Answers — Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection: Public Services Card (7 Dec 2022)
Seán Crowe: 80. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the reason that women who received a W number upon becoming married in the past are not being issued with public service cards and are instead told they must apply for a new PPS number; the reason there is no warning in respect of same when persons apply for a card, leaving them waiting until they contact her Department; and...

- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) Seán Crowe: The Minister might come back to the committee with information as I know one hospital which paid out the pandemic payment to all of its staff but the Department has not recouped this money to the hospital. Perhaps the Minister might come back to the committee with those figures also. The Minister is stating this money has been paid out. In this case, however, it has been paid out by...
