- Select Committee on Health: Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination and Public Display) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2023)
David Cullinane: I thank the Minister for his opening statement. As he knows from Second Stage, I will be supporting the Bill. I have a number of general points relevant to all of the amendments grouped here. We have to basically use this opportunity to speak about some of the issues and put it on the record on Committee Stage that we will be introducing amendments on Report Stage. If we do not do that,...
- Select Committee on Health: Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination and Public Display) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2023)
David Cullinane: I want to make a quick point following on from that. It goes back to the point I was making earlier about having maybe an opt-in and opt-out process. It is implied we are all opting in if we have not specifically opted out. As the Minister has said, there is a hierarchy of family members who will then have to be contacted to give consent. That is the check and balance, I suppose, to avoid...
- Select Committee on Health: Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination and Public Display) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2023)
David Cullinane: I might ask the question in a different way. Let us say there is a scenario where a person has the code for organ donation on their driving licence, they pass away and consent is required from the hierarchy of family members, whether that is the mother, father, spouse or whatever. Would that family member be made aware of the fact that person had a driving licence with a code on it...

- Select Committee on Health: Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination and Public Display) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (21 Jun 2023)
David Cullinane: I am going back to the point where there may be a discussion and different views within a family. If the family is not aware of the fact that the person had a code on their driving licence, there could be a discussion and they may weigh it up. At least if they were aware the person had, from their perspective and in their own way, opted in by going for the driving licence option and having...

- Select Committee on Health: Message to Dáil (21 Jun 2023)
David Cullinane: I thank the Minister for bringing forward the Bill. We had lots of exchanges in the Dáil over a number of years on the issue of organ retention and the need to respond to all of the scandals. It is very important that this Bill is now progressing. The offer was made, and accepted by the Minister, for a technical briefing. I thank the Minister for that. We have had very...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Implementation of Sláintecare Reforms: Department of Health and HSE (Resumed) (14 Jun 2023)
David Cullinane: Onto County Waterford so. I welcome Mr. Watt, Mr. Gloster and all of the witnesses. Before I get into my questions on medical cards, I commend the enhanced community programme and huge work going on in that area. It was from a standing start, built from scratch and what has been delivered is very impressive; I will get to that later. I commend all involved. It is a vital piece in taking...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Implementation of Sláintecare Reforms: Department of Health and HSE (Resumed) (14 Jun 2023)
David Cullinane: I must stop Mr. Watt there. The reason it was done this way is because getting medical cards for six and seven-year-olds - which was promised God knows how long ago - involved legislation being passed; it was announced and reannounced. It was all held up because of negotiations. This was meant to be a different approach in which we simply extended the criteria for the GP visit card. If it...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Implementation of Sláintecare Reforms: Department of Health and HSE (Resumed) (14 Jun 2023)
David Cullinane: I said that to Mr. Watt at the time and I said it to the Minister when he announced this. He was before this committee and I asked him and the same bodies that were here subsequently, the Irish College of General Practitioners, ICGP, and Irish Medical Organisation, if there was any engagement with those bodies prior to that announcement in the budget and they said no. It strikes me that the...
