Róisín Shortall: Who is doing it? Do we know?

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Róisín Shortall: What is the oversight? We need to get away from people policing and investigating themselves. There has been too much of that. What is the oversight?

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Róisín Shortall: That is not acceptable. Allegations are being made that this was all known about within Temple Street at a senior level. I do not know whether there is a basis to those allegations or not, but they should not be left hanging in the air. We also know that there is an end-to-end procurement procedure, from the purchase of them, and I understand the hospital paid for them, up to the...

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Róisín Shortall: We have been told it could be a year, if not longer, until Dr. Nayagam reports. The general principle is that justice delayed is justice denied. Too often, we see a major problem being put into a review and who knows when we will ever get the results of that review, and it will be redacted. All of these things generally happen. That is not good enough in these circumstances. Will the...

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Róisín Shortall: We need to appreciate that the backdrop to this is that the State has failed the children who are most medically challenged. Despite repeated promises, the scoliosis plan, three Ombudsman's reports, three reviews which have been completed, umpteen Dáil debates and umpteen media reports, we still do not have adequate services for those vulnerable children. It is no wonder that trust has...

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Róisín Shortall: At the outset, I extend my condolences to the family of Dollceanna Carter. I offer my sympathies to all of the families impacted by this saga. It is a national scandal and a major issue that needs to be addressed. We need a timely response to it. It cannot just be another example of setting up a review and kicking it down the road, but my fear is that that is what will happen. The...

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (21 Sep 2023)

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (21 Sep 2023)

Róisín Shortall: What about cost?

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (21 Sep 2023)

Róisín Shortall: What the Government is doing is not real cost rental, like Oscar Traynor Road and big subsidies.

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (21 Sep 2023)

Róisín Shortall: Increasingly, the public across all age cohorts has come to the conclusion that this Government is utterly failing to deliver affordable homes. I do not think the Minister could point to anything he has done during his term of office that has contributed to actually driving down the cost of housing. In fact, most of the initiatives he has taken are contributing to the high cost of housing....

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Health Service Executive (21 Sep 2023)

Róisín Shortall: 4. To ask the Minister for Health to provide an update on the significant underfunding of the HSE national service plan; the current projected deficit to year-end; the reason his Department did not address this matter when its implications were highlighted by the HSE at the start of 2023; how he will address this deficit up to the end of 2023 in a way which ensures service capacity, activity...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Health Service Executive (21 Sep 2023)

Róisín Shortall: We knew from early in the year that there was a black hole in the funding for the HSE national service plan, NSP. This was identified by a board member of the HSE, Mr. Brendan Lenihan, who is the chair of the audit and risk committee. He said he was not prepared to go along with this messaging, which was trying to cover over the fact that there was a serious shortfall in funding for the...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Health Service Executive (21 Sep 2023)

Róisín Shortall: I do not accept what the Minister of State has said. I know who writes this stuff and it is not true. It does not reflect reality. There is a three-month delay in approving the national service plan and we know why that was. It was because there were serious concerns about underfunding of the plan. We have known for a long time that the population is increasing and ageing and that there...

Róisín Shortall: No. That is not what I asked.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Health Service Executive (21 Sep 2023)

Róisín Shortall: The Department got notice of this question. I asked what the projected deficit for the end of year was and the Minister of State has not been able to provide that figure. She should have been supplied with it. I ask her to go back to the Secretary General, get that figure and send it on to me. We should have had it today. Everybody's fear is that there will be a delay in recruitment and...
