- Community Pharmacy Services. (17 Oct 2007)
James Reilly: Before I ask a question, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, I hope you will allow me a little preamble.
- Community Pharmacy Services. (17 Oct 2007)
James Reilly: Many people are seriously disadvantaged because of this dispute. I do not condone the action of pharmacists in putting patients at risk although, like many Members, I recognise their frustration with the HSE. The HSE has had ample opportunity to put its contingency plan in place and it is very poorly thought out. There was no consultation with communities and the only information I have...

James Reilly: Question 78: To ask the Minister for Health and Children the progress made to improve the situation within accident and emergency departments with regard to her ten point plan for accident and emergency services, her description of the accident and emergency crisis as a national emergency in March 2006, the establishment of a task force on accident and emergency services and the subsequent...
- Accident and Emergency Services. (17 Oct 2007)
James Reilly: Does the Minister accept that the HSE's method of measuring waiting times in accident and emergency departments does not bear scrutiny? The waiting period should commence from the time the patient arrives in the accident and emergency department. However, the clock does not start until a decision has been made to admit the patient. That is not the truth, because the time starts when the...
- Accident and Emergency Services. (17 Oct 2007)
James Reilly: The key decision-maker in the accident and emergency department is the consultant. Therefore, waiting for a member of the medical team to come down from upstairs just does not wash.

- Cancer Screening Programme. (17 Oct 2007)
James Reilly: This matter is close to my heart because in 1999 I was part of a team that negotiated the original pilot programme in the mid-west. We were told it would be rolled out within a short period. Why has this roll-out taken so long? Being a new Deputy I want to be nice. However, I must question the bona fides of a HSE that is currently outsourcing the laboratory requirement. If it has been...

- Acquired Brain Injury. (17 Oct 2007)
James Reilly: Would the Minister of State accept that there is a long waiting list for beds in the national rehabilitation unit and that families are trying to cope at home with seriously injured or disabled loved ones? Does he also accept that there is capacity in nursing homes, at least one of which has a brain injury unit, to take people from the national rehabilitation centre whose treatment phase is...
- Acquired Brain Injury. (17 Oct 2007)
James Reilly: I asked about the current availability in a private unit to which people may be referred from the national rehabilitation centre. I understand that a contract was nearly signed for the transfer of 22 patients which would have freed up those beds for people badly in need of care.
- Acquired Brain Injury. (17 Oct 2007)
James Reilly: Can we get clarity here? The Minister of State is speaking of home care packages, I am speaking about nursing home care.
- Acquired Brain Injury. (17 Oct 2007)
James Reilly: I can do that later, certainly.
