Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No. 2) Bill 2022: Second Stage (1 Jul 2022)

Gino Kenny: People Before Profit welcomes this Bill. It is quite progressive, as is the contraception scheme. Outpatient charges are not conducive to Sláintecare whatsoever. I think the Minister would agree with that. Most people listening will be asking themselves why we pay inpatient charges in the first place. This is welcome but there is a long way still to go. Children who attend the...

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No. 2) Bill 2022: Second Stage (1 Jul 2022)

Gino Kenny: Charges should be abolished, full stop. The amount of bureaucracy that goes into this, between paying debt collectors and the administrative work involved in inpatient fees, is not efficient.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Vaginal Mesh Implants: Discussion (29 Jun 2022)

Gino Kenny: Ms Jackson's injury must be compounded by being told that this is psychosomatic, with certain medical professionals saying that this is all in her head and is not related to the procedure that was done. How does it make Ms Jackson feel about healthcare in Ireland when people are saying it had nothing to do with the procedure that was done and it is all essentially in her head?
