- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Capital Investment: Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (1 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: We are having trouble with the sound. Please proceed.
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Capital Investment: Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (1 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: I will contact Mr. Downes and ask for a written reply to Deputy Mairéad Farrell's question. We seem to be having some sound problems and as we are at the end of the session, I will adjourn the meeting. I thank Mr. Downes, Mr. Meaney, Ms Costello, Ms Callaghan and Mr. Deane for their attendance today and for their assistance to the committee. We will follow up on those questions...
- Joint Committee On Health: Impacts of Covid-19 on Youth Mental Health and Psychological Services: Discussion (6 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: I thank everyone here today. It has been a very interesting discussion. I will have a question for Beat 102-103 later but I will start with CARE. The representatives have done a very good job today of outlining the huge challenges to their sector. Professionalisation of a role and that pathway becoming a barrier to people taking part is something that we see in other sectors too but in...
- Joint Committee On Health: Impacts of Covid-19 on Youth Mental Health and Psychological Services: Discussion (6 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: To clarify, the requirement is the same now in the HSE but the support during the training is not the same.
- Joint Committee On Health: Impacts of Covid-19 on Youth Mental Health and Psychological Services: Discussion (6 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: Does the HSE's requirement set a standard across the sector when people apply for private roles or roles in, say the Department of Education or a prison? Do the HSE staffing requirements have a knock-on effect across the sector?
- Joint Committee On Health: Impacts of Covid-19 on Youth Mental Health and Psychological Services: Discussion (6 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: It seems like a legacy that is completely disjointed from what is actually happening on the ground. I have a super-quick follow-up question. Ms Dillon mentioned in the APSI discussion there is not a requirement that senior psychologists engage in training. Does she believe that should be written into contracts?
- Joint Committee On Health: Impacts of Covid-19 on Youth Mental Health and Psychological Services: Discussion (6 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: That is exactly the sort of question that would have to be addressed by this office, so that is probably germane to that. If I have time, I have a quick question for Beat. I wanted to follow up with it because the work it is doing is really interesting. I am interested in the methodology of the project that was undertaken because it has come up in other committees and with other issues....
- Joint Committee On Health: Impacts of Covid-19 on Youth Mental Health and Psychological Services: Discussion (6 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: I thank Beat and Spark for that work. If anything, if has impressed upon me that however much communicating we have done on the issue of mental health supports we have not solved it yet. We have not quite got there and we have a lot of work to do.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: I thank the Chair. I want to begin with Mr. Gunning's opening statement in which he mentioned BREEAM certification. As has been pointed out, we are two years from completion. Is that a projected certification of excellence? We are quite far away from steps such as commissioning and handover.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: Post occupancy. I only have six minutes. I wanted to confirm that. On the dispute mechanism, we received correspondence from the Department during the past few months in which it was outlined that the moratorium was in place until May. Can I get confirmation on whether there is a month in mind for when the moratorium will end?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: To the end of July.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: I understand. Is the board still withholding 15% contracted monthly payments?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: Is the board fully in line with the fee schedule?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: I thank Mr. Gunning. I would like to move on to Ms Hardiman's opening statement in which she discussed the electronic health record. Can she elaborate on that? I want to understand what the electronic record procurement process entails. Is it something that follows the patient from healthcare facility to healthcare facility or is it specific to the children's hospital? In other hospital...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: That lives across the three healthcare facilities.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: Has that system been commissioned?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: Can Ms Hardiman give me a timeline of what the final stages mean? Obviously, with Connolly Hospital an eight-week commissioning is a tight commissioning period.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: We are looking at 2024 for the commissioning of that. How will Connolly Hospital and the other facility operate prior to that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)
Neasa Hourigan: That is a tight timeframe for implementation.
