Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Medicinal Products (19 Oct 2022)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Deputy for raising this issue, to which I am responding on behalf of the Minister for Health. Cystic fibrosis is a devastating disease for patients and their families, with Ireland having one of the highest per capitaCF rates in the world. Many of us will have seen its effects and the cost to families. Access to effective treatment offers hope to those suffering from this...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Medicinal Products (19 Oct 2022)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Deputy for raising this important issue. I certainly will bring this back to the Minister. It is unfortunate that Vertex reneged on its commitment and agreement. It is highly frustrating for the Government and for the HSE to be in this particular position. There are 35 families possibly looking in here this morning and looking for hope. I hope that when the Minister meets...

We witness the pain felt so deeply by...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Health Services Staff (20 Oct 2022)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Deputy for raising this question. I will be giving a lot of figures so I hope he has a biro. There are seven and 12 children's disability teams in the areas the Deputy asked about. In CHO 3, there are seven and in CHO 5, there are 12. One of the seven teams in CHO 3 is HSE-led and the rest are led by our partner organisations. I will go through the statistics for CHO 3 first....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Health Services Staff (20 Oct 2022)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Deputy. I agree that the vacancy levels in north Tipperary, Cashel and Clonmel are concerning. There is no denying that whatsoever. There are plans afoot within the HSE for a progressive recruitment plan. It is only to do with CDNTs but applies across the disability sector. We have looked within and outside Ireland as a part of that recruitment campaign. We are flushing...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Health Services Staff (20 Oct 2022)

Anne Rabbitte: In respect of the assessments of need, which the Deputy has raised, I was fortunate, with the help of my good colleague, the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, to secure €11.5 million to address the backlog for assessments of need. The last time I got such funding, we managed to clear that backlog. However, it is no good clearing the backlog unless we have a proper process for the...
