Programmes for Government (16 Jun 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Deputy Gilmore referred to some of the matters I wish to address in regard to the health heading in the revised programme for Government. However, I will take a different line of inquiry and, as my question will be general rather than requiring the level of detail that a Minister can best offer, I hope the Taoiseach will be able to assist me. Under the heading of health, the revised...

Programmes for Government (16 Jun 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I ask the Ceann Comhairle to have a little respect and allow me at least to finish my first sentence. As I was about to indicate, the commitment is limited to projects already committed to under existing contractual agreements. What is the position of the co-location scheme, which did not present during the Taoiseach's previous capacity as Minister for Health in the way it has under the...

Programmes for Government (16 Jun 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: This is relevant to what is stated in the programme for Government. The very raison d'être behind the proposition in the programme is that the scheme will free up beds in the public hospital system. Has the Taoiseach noted that patients being moved out of long-term care in our public health system has resulted not in beds being freed up for further patient access but in the beds in...

Programmes for Government (16 Jun 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: The very purpose, allegedly, of proceeding with co-location was to provide additional bed capacity in the public hospital system. If that is not now a realisable expectation, and clearly it is not happening in any shape or form with beds being closed on a continuous basis, why would one proceed with the scheme? Does the Taoiseach not accept that it is fair for an Opposition spokesperson on...

Programmes for Government (16 Jun 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: In his response the Taoiseach indicated he did not understand why people would have ideological objections to the current two-tier public-private care delivery systems within our acute hospital network. I certainly do. I do not only object to it in ideological terms because it perpetuates inequality of treatment and care provision on the basis of ability to pay, which is the wrong basis....

Programmes for Government (16 Jun 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: The logic of this is that the co-location proposition does not stand, on the basis of the current practice. I am sure I am not unique among Deputies here and I am sure it affects the Taoiseach in his constituency. A significant volume of people present on a continuum who are concerned for family members who cannot get access to procedures. These people have presented on dates given to them...

Programmes for Government (16 Jun 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I can only make the points as best I can. I am trying to represent people's concerns that I know to be real and valid. I ask the Taoiseach to note that there are real problems within our acute hospital network in our health system. I appeal to him to take greater note of that fact in the interest of the right of people to access to care. My last question is on the independent electoral...

Freedom of Information (16 Jun 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Notifications of freedom of information requests with regard to Members of the Houses of the Oireachtas indicate if the request has been received but there is no identification of where the request comes from. I do not know if it is the same across the board. Freedom of information is a two-way street and what is the Taoiseach's view in that regard? If freedom of information is to be given...

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32 (16 Jun 2010)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil to address the following matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Health and Children to explain her silence and inaction on the miscarriage misdiagnosis issue given that she has now admitted that she was aware of the case at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, County Louth, since August 2009 yet has failed to show that...
