Health Service Staff. (17 Oct 2007)

Jan O'Sullivan: Question 75: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if she is still of the view that the embargo on recruitment of staff by the Health Service Executive is not affecting patient care; the level of involvement she and officials in her Department had in decisions with regard to staff issues, including the increase in grade eight managers from ten in 2000 to more than 500 at present; the...

Health Service Staff. (17 Oct 2007)

Jan O'Sullivan: The Minister set up the HSE nearly three years ago to centralise the system so that bureaucracy could be reduced and more funding could be released for direct patient care. What monitoring does the Minister carry out on the HSE? The growth in senior management numbers is extraordinary, in spite of her explanation today. What hands-on relationship does she have with the HSE to ensure that...

Cancer Services. (17 Oct 2007)

Jan O'Sullivan: I did not hear the Minister mention the resources that will be available in the future, although she did speak about those that will be available this year. The brave fight by Susie Long, who sadly passed away at the weekend, has shown how essential it is that there are adequate resources available in the public health service for cancer treatment services. I want a commitment from the...

Cancer Services. (17 Oct 2007)

Jan O'Sullivan: I do not understand how co-locating public and private hospitals on the same site with different doctors will change it. However, I do not have time to deal with that issue today. On the list of hospitals which have been told they must cease immediately the provision of cancer treatment services, will extra resources be made available to the so-called centres of excellence in this respect?...

Cancer Screening Programme. (17 Oct 2007)

Jan O'Sullivan: I asked the Minister when she expects the national cervical cancer screening programme to be fully rolled out. The reason I am sceptical and asked that question is that the breast screening programme was to have been fully rolled out approximately two years ago and that has not yet happened. Will the breast screening programme be fully rolled out by the end of this year as promised and is...

Acquired Brain Injury. (17 Oct 2007)

Jan O'Sullivan: I also wanted to ask about the home care packages because the Minister, Deputy Harney, in replying to one of my priority questions, indicated that there would be a restoration of home care packages. In the case of people currently in the National Rehabilitation Hospital who are ready to go home, will facilities such as home care packages be put in place to ensure that such people can move...

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32 (18 Oct 2007)

Jan O'Sullivan: In accordance with the terms of Standing Order 32, I seek the adjournment of the Dáil to discuss a specific and important matter of public interest requiring urgent attention, namely, the need for the Minister for Transport to make a full statement on the disclosure that his Department was aware of plans by Aer Lingus to scrap its Shannon-Heathrow routes and transfer the service to Belfast...

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32 (18 Oct 2007)
