- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 38 - Health (Further Revised) (19 Apr 2023) Colm Burke: I want to move on to the issue of the timeframe for the elective hospital. As I have raised with the Minister, Bons Secours is building a new hospital in Limerick which will take 23 months from start to finish. In fairness to both Mercy University Hospital and Cork University Hospital, CUH, the staff are working under enormous pressure. There is also the issue of trying to get people out of...

Vote 38 - Health (Further Revised) (19 Apr 2023) Colm Burke: I appreciate that because I know there is a lot of work involved in getting any project like this up and running. It is a very detailed project. I fully understand that. However, I will come back to the issue of step-down facilities. This really needs to be looked at.

- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 38 - Health (Further Revised) (19 Apr 2023) Colm Burke: It was in fact this very issue that I wished to raise with the Minister. I refer to the computerisation. To give an example, I think four or five of the maternity units have become fully computerised but another 14 of those units have not. Can all this work in this area be fast-tracked now? The computerisation has worked in four or five of the units, so why can we not do it in all the...

Vote 38 - Health (Further Revised) (19 Apr 2023) Colm Burke: Okay. The Minister is talking about a plan to 2030. It is very spread out. The best example I can give about Cork is if people go into Cork University Hospital, CUH, they will get a paper file. If they were to end up in the Mercy hospital 12 months later, they will then get a paper file there. If they were to be in the South Infirmary two years later again, another paper file will be...

Vote 38 - Health (Further Revised) (19 Apr 2023) Colm Burke: I believe the Minister accepts there is a huge saving if we have this in place. It is already working in the maternity service. Where it is place, there is a huge saving. It is extremely helpful for medical practitioners, for nurses and for administrators where the system is up and running in the four or five maternity hospitals.
