Seanad: Order of Business (4 Jul 2018)

Máire Devine: I want to raise the disappointment with HIQA. HIQA has written 15 reports on the different centres for people with disabilities throughout the country. Unfortunately Cherry Orchard in my area of Dublin South-Central in Ballyfermot has been taken off the register of approved centres for people with disabilities. It is two separate houses in the Cherry Orchard campus and it has been taken...

Seanad: Civil Liability (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill 2018: Second Stage (4 Jul 2018)

Máire Devine: I welcome the Minister to the House. It is an apt time to take this Bill. I am delighted to open the Second Stage debate. This Bill is about being transparent in healthcare, being protected by law and not being protected by the idea of doing something voluntarily, which is unenforceable. We know that to be the case now. More than that, this Bill is about delivering for the men, women,...

Seanad: Civil Liability (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill 2018: Second Stage (4 Jul 2018)

Máire Devine: I welcome the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, to the House. I am delighted the Minister is going to the Government tomorrow about the Patient Safety (Licensing) Bill which he put on the agenda yesterday. Perhaps the Civil Liability (Amendment) Bill 2018 will give an impetus to the patient safety legislation. Before he left, the Minister rounded off a very decent and in-depth proposal...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: Mental Health Services' Funding and Performance Indicators: Discussion (4 Jul 2018)

Máire Devine: Apologies. I hope that I will not repeat anything. I welcome the witnesses and thank them for their presentation. I also welcome the representatives of the member organisations in the Public Gallery. I will fly through my questions, and Dr. McDaid might ignore repeats. I have a difficulty with the oversight group for A Vision for Change. The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: Mental Health Services' Funding and Performance Indicators: Discussion (4 Jul 2018)

Máire Devine: "Well-being" is an important description of what most of us need if we are to grow and nurture ourselves. Early intervention was mentioned. Mental ill-health must be a less significant part and we need to build on well-being. Well-being must be owned by and be the responsibility of the community. I apologise to the Chairman.

Seanad: Order of Business (5 Jul 2018)

Máire Devine: I continue to raise the smear test scandal which is not going away. The number of women affected has risen to 221 as of today. I am dismayed but perhaps it is not unexpected. An extra 12 cases have been identified yet the review of the smear test slides has not yet begun two months after the deadline for completion. Some 3,000 tests need to be audited again. It puts the completion of the...

Seanad: Health (General Practitioner Service) Bill 2018: Second Stage (5 Jul 2018)

Máire Devine: I welcome the Minister of State. I welcome the Bill and its improved provisions for carers. Carers are unsung heroes. Sometimes they get fed up. I say that because behind the unsung heroes is the hard reality of how they live and how we support them in what they are doing. They deserve our respect, compassion and support. They are the very reason for our amendment. The contribution...

Seanad: Order of Business (10 Jul 2018)

Máire Devine: That is fine. I was just conversing with my colleague. I will raise two issues, the first of which is the closure of Linn Dara child and adolescent mental health service, CAMHS, in Cherry Orchard. This day service programme was closed on a hush-hush basis on Friday. That means there will be no day programme services for child and adolescents suffering with mental health throughout the...
