- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Martin Conway: Our guests are very welcome. I thank them very much for attending. We have dealt in great detail with hiring in respect of neurological and so on. I will ask about recruitment. I acknowledge that there has been a significant increase in recruitment in the past 12 months. What worries me is that there has been a bigger increase in management and administration than front-line staff. Will...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Martin Conway: Okay. I accept that. Deputy Durkan asked about the change in approach for primary healthcare centres. I have no doubt there is a good rationale for it. Like Deputy Durkan, I may not necessarily agree with the rationale, but I am interested in hearing about it. I will be parochial. Mr. Gloster is well aware of the circumstances in Ennistymon, County Clare. It has been promised a primary...

Martin Conway: My understanding is Ennistymon will be a greenfield site so-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Martin Conway: That is fine. Thank you very much. I will move on to CAMHS, particularly in the mid-west. We saw that the waiting list in County Clare was the highest of the three counties in the mid-west and among the highest in the country. I suggested at the committee some time ago that perhaps resources could be redeployed from other areas to try to deal with the waiting lists that are particularly...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Martin Conway: I have to stop Dr. Burke there because unfortunately, the last time Mr. Gloster was here he was able to tell us that take-up of the new consultant contract in the mid-west was the lowest in the country. On paper, one would expect that it would be the case but unfortunately, I dread that it is not.

Martin Conway: Good. My apologies.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Martin Conway: My final question is on MS Ireland and the €800,000 plus that was committed to it by Ministers and so on over the past 12 months for the physiotherapy service. Mr. Gloster might give us an update on when it can expect to receive that funding.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Martin Conway: Perhaps Mr. Gloster could give us a note on that in due course.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Martin Conway: I appreciate that clarification. I was particularly interested in the additional funding provided to allow it to extend its respite service to a seven-days-a-week model. Perhaps there is more Mr. Gloster could have a look at in his own time.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Martin Conway: I thank the Chairman for facilitating me in coming in again. I know this is not necessarily on the agenda but I know also that Mr. Gloster will not be surprised that I want to raise UHL. I feel duty-bound to do so every time the HSE comes before the committee and duty-bound for the people on trolleys there. Since we spoke last, the Minister announced that he would send down an expert team...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)
Martin Conway: Would it be fair to say that assuming the report from Mr. Justice Clark arrives in the coming short period, there will be deliberations and Mr. Gloster will consider the report along with other reports and will then discuss them with the Minister? Regarding the terms of reference for HIQA, is it fair to say that we are looking at September at the earliest?
