Psychological Service: Motion (Resumed) (21 Nov 2007)

James Reilly: I concur with the comments made by my colleagues. Speech and language waiting times can vary from several months to two years. A small child in my area of Dublin North has been waiting nine months for this service. The child's parents must wait and worry before they can find out whether the child has dyslexia, autism or Asperger's syndrome. Schools are restricted in terms of the number of...

Vaccination Programme. (21 Nov 2007)

James Reilly: I wish to refer, first, to the costings relating to the vaccine and Dr. Connolly's concerns regarding our ability to deliver a vaccination programme should the Minister decide to proceed with it. What will be the costings for the roll-out of cervical screening programmes? I spoke to the Minister six weeks ago about this matter in the House when I stated it was unlikely that she could...

Vaccination Programme. (21 Nov 2007)

James Reilly: Is there a budget in place in respect of the roll-out of a cervical screening programme? Is the Minister in a position to guarantee the House that it will be rolled out by March next year?

Care of the Elderly. (21 Nov 2007)

James Reilly: We are all aware that there is going to be a major problem with regard to the funding of nursing homes. My difficulty with what I have seen so far of the Bill is that it refers to drawing down other resources before the family home is touched. How will this apply in the case of small businesses and farms? Will people be obliged to sell their businesses and use up all their assets before...

Care of the Elderly. (21 Nov 2007)

James Reilly: In conjunction with this, I hope we have similar investment in community initiatives to keep people at home. Nobody likes to go into a nursing home because it means a loss of independence. The HSE has been inspecting nursing homes for some time. However, we have not been reassured by what is happening. The HSE inspecting its own homes is not proper.
