Committee on Health and Children: Select Sub-Committee on Health: Health (General Practitioner Service) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (19 Jun 2014)

Denis Naughten: In the context of the amendment that has been disallowed, I urge the Minister of State to examine the matter again in advance of Report Stage. He has already indicated that it is his intention to introduce legislation within the next 12 months to facilitate a provision similar to that outlined by Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin covering all sections of the population over the age...

Committee on Health and Children: Select Sub-Committee on Health: Health (General Practitioner Service) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (19 Jun 2014)

Denis Naughten: No, I am not straying from the Bill at all. The Minister of State might clarify that point. Finally, the Minister of State has stated that he intends to bring forward an amendment in respect of the nursing home support scheme. I also intend to table an amendment on Report Stage in that regard because I believe that where someone is eligible for the nursing home support scheme, he or she...

Committee on Health and Children: Select Sub-Committee on Health: Health (General Practitioner Service) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (19 Jun 2014)

Denis Naughten: I wish to make a brief comment. I understand the context of the Minister of State's observations regarding the medical review by the expert group that is taking place. Surely, however, it would make sense to make provision in this legislation, at least in the short term, for those children under the age of 18 who fall into whatever medical categories are highlighted by the aforementioned...

Committee on Health and Children: Select Sub-Committee on Health: Health (General Practitioner Service) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (19 Jun 2014)

Denis Naughten: The issue concerns the ECCE scheme and the education system. There is a sharing of data between the other agencies, but to the best of my knowledge, there is no such provision in the case of the medical card scheme. It is my understanding that it would require a facilitating amendment to allow it to happen. We are talking about the under sixes. In the case of the over 70s, the ECCE scheme...

Other Questions: Maternity Services (25 Jun 2014)

Denis Naughten: I asked this question, which the Minister has not answered twice this morning, because five of the six options contained in the west-north west hospital group's report suggested the closure of Portiuncula Hospital's obstetrician-led maternity services. The sixth option - to do nothing - was dismissed. Of the hospitals in the group, Portiuncula is the safest, one of the most efficient and...

Other Questions: Maternity Services (25 Jun 2014)

Denis Naughten: I thank the Minister for his clarification, but that was not my suggestion. I do not want to prejudge the outcome of the review that the Minister is spearheading, as a review of maternity services is necessary, given the death of Savita Halappanavar and events in Portlaoise. We all want a quality and safe maternity service. However, a report specifically focused its attention on...
