- Seanad: Hospital Services (20 Jan 2010)
John Moloney: I thank the Senator for what she said. I wish I had more time to respond because she raised so many issues. I do not intend to respond by way of the prepared script because many of the issues raised are not referred to therein. I have been asked to meet a delegation including Deputy Mattie McGrath, the Minister of State at the Department of Finance, Deputy Mansergh, Senator Prendergast and...

John Moloney: Yes.
- Seanad: Hospital Services (20 Jan 2010)
John Moloney: Yes. The Senator should remember that in the general hospital in Kilkenny there are acute psychiatric services. I have visited the unit and noted it is forward-thinking. In Kilkenny, as in Sligo, there is a nurse operating in the area of psychiatric care. There is a prescribing nurse in this area also, which I welcome. All of these developments are positive. I will not do the Senator an...
- Seanad: Hospital Services (20 Jan 2010)
John Moloney: I know Senator Prendergast has a background in these services and I am not trying to rubbish any of her remarks. Retaining the level of competency of a hospital for the sake of the 49 beds in this case, however, is wrong. I went through all of these factors during the cancer services debates in Laois. In the case of Tipperary, an image has been created of people sitting in a room somewhere...
- Seanad: Hospital Services (20 Jan 2010)
John Moloney: Some counties have no existing mental facilities to sell off to fund their mental health programmes. Tipperary is part of the 300,000 catchment area referred to in A Vision for Change. The whole process has been to ensure we deliver multidisciplinary services to these areas. We are not unravelling A Vision for Change to suit Tipperary as I am having to do the same in Portlaoise. When I...

John Moloney: The position remains as outlined in my reply to Question No. 63 of 19th February 2009, namely that when a patient has a limb amputated, the acute hospital is responsible for providing the first prosthesis. Amputees who possess a Medical Card or a Long-Term Illness Card will receive, once sanctioned, new prostheses and repairs to prostheses. Others are liable to meet the costs directly. They...
- Hospital Services. (27 Jan 2010)
John Moloney: I am responding to this Adjournment matter on behalf of my colleague, the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Mary Harney, who unfortunately cannot be here this evening. I thank the Deputy for raising this matter. PET-CT scanning is one of a number of sophisticated diagnostic tools used in the acute hospital setting in the diagnosis and management of disease. In 2006, the HSE decided...
- Accident and Emergency Services. (27 Jan 2010)
John Moloney: I thank Deputies Costello and O'Sullivan for raising this issue and apologise that the Minister cannot be here. The HSE accepts that emergency departments have experienced significant increases in the numbers attending to date in January. The work to rule currently in operation by staff at the HSE has led to a disruption in the HSE's normal data collection on activity in emergency...
