Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

Seán Crowe: Dr. Rogers stated that there is a gap in the context of having to get people to come over from Britain.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

Seán Crowe: That is an existing gap.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

Seán Crowe: That would be worth pursuing. We all accept that the current system is not working. It is refreshing that the witnesses have come in today, and to hear then talk about figures coming down. The example was given of Johnny and his wife. We all know someone who fits into that category. Deputy Gino Kenny spoke about one of his constituents. I remember dealing with a man who was a carer....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

Seán Crowe: How are they picked up? Are they picked up as a result of their attending clinics?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

Seán Crowe: This question is probably bizarre. Professor Keegan mentioned that he set out to innovate and, ultimately, solve this problem in the interests of staff and patients through the adoption of lean principles. What did he mean by that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

Seán Crowe: Will Professor Keegan expand on the virtual diagnostics? He mentioned that it will be the end of the year before this happens. What exactly is involved? Will a patient go into a room and sit down in front of a machine and the consultant will be on the other end of the line or whatever?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

Seán Crowe: Very impressive. Dr. Rogers touched on a point there, as raised by my colleague Deputy Burke. In the Deputy's area, the building is in place but the staff are not. In Dr. Rogers' experience, is this common across the system? It would appear to be common within the hospital systems that we have two MRI machines in one particular area and a delay in another area, because it is not working...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

Seán Crowe: Does Professor Keegan see that as one of the advantages or potential advantages of the RHAs? He indicate that he is waiting with interest for their view in respect of that matter, but will it enhance or detract from the proposals being put forward today? Are the witnesses concerned about that new structure? They seem to have people on board at the moment, and there appears to be quite a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

Seán Crowe: Again, time is not in our hands. The witnesses have given the figures for the numbers of people who will be looking for services and supports in Dublin in 30 years. Perhaps, on that note, we will end the session. Is there anything else that the members or witnesses would like to expand on? I appreciate the witnesses coming before us. This has been a very useful discussion.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

Seán Crowe: Let us see how we get on with the asks. The group's work is very impressive.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

Seán Crowe: I thank the witnesses for the comprehensive discussion with the committee. We will adjourn and meet again in September.

Raise the Roof: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jul 2022)

Seán Crowe: I do not believe that people fleeing war and savagery are responsible for people sleeping in cars.

Raise the Roof: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jul 2022)

Seán Crowe: That was mentioned earlier. It has been happening for years in this city. There are plenty of houses but unfortunately they are in the wrong hands and they are being used for the wrong purposes. Child homelessness is endemic once again. There are more than 3,000 children without a place to call home. This is the official number. We do no know how many are sharing box rooms or sitting...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Business of Joint Committee (6 Jul 2022)

Seán Crowe: Before I introduce the witness, we have one piece of housekeeping.

Seán Crowe: We will do that. Are the minutes agreed? Agreed.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Effects of Long Covid and Provision of Long Covid Care: Engagement with Dr. John Lambert (6 Jul 2022)

Seán Crowe: The committee is meeting with Dr. John Lambert to discuss the effects of long Covid and the provision of long Covid care in Ireland. I welcome Dr. Lambert, who is a consultant in infectious diseases at the Mater and Rotunda hospitals in Dublin and a full clinical professor at the school of medicine in University College Dublin, UCD. Members and the witness are again reminded of the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Effects of Long Covid and Provision of Long Covid Care: Engagement with Dr. John Lambert (6 Jul 2022)

Seán Crowe: Next will be Deputy Burke, followed by Senator Hoey.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Effects of Long Covid and Provision of Long Covid Care: Engagement with Dr. John Lambert (6 Jul 2022)

Seán Crowe: I have some questions. The scary thing is that we all know someone who has long Covid. Yesterday, I spoke to a person whose symptom was really bad migraines. The advice is to take more exercise but a woman told me that if she does extra ironing or anything like that, she is exhausted for about three days afterwards. If a person with long Covid attends a special occasion such as a child's...
