Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Broadcasting Authority of Ireland: Discussion with Chairperson-Designate (23 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: Yes, I want to ask how that will affect BAI's funding.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Broadcasting Authority of Ireland: Discussion with Chairperson-Designate (23 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: That is fair enough. The witnesses touched on the issue of the new complaints mechanism that will come to pass with regard to tech giants. I note that they said the BAI had already made a submission and proposals in regard to issues of scale and so on. Will the new media commission be responsible for all complaints in Europe or just those that come from Ireland? Did BAI make reference to...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Broadcasting Authority of Ireland: Discussion with Chairperson-Designate (23 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: I do not know if I am speaking out of turn, but is it possible for the BAI to furnish a copy of its submission to the committee? I say that in the context of the committee's ongoing wide-scale engagement with stakeholders regarding the Bill. The one key thing that came out, above all others, was the importance of an independent complaints mechanism. That is the one thing the majority spoke...

Rising Energy Costs: Motion [Private Members] (22 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: The astronomical increases in fuel costs have pushed hundreds of thousands of Irish households to the brink, and the statistics laid out in this motion are quite shocking. There have been more than 30 different price increases from energy suppliers in the past year, and costs have risen by around €500 per annum for the average household. Home heating oil has increased by more than...

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Driver Test (22 Mar 2022)

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: I will touch on the report on the look-back review into CAMHS in south Kerry. I will direct my questions to Mr. Reid. It has been reported in the media that the whistleblower was told to take time off and was confined to administrative duties. Will Mr. Reid confirm that the HSE took this action?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: Can Mr. Reid confirm if it is standard practice in the HSE to ask whistleblowers to take leave or to confine them to administrative duties and, in fact, to punish them?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: The reality is it does happen.

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: Reports indicate that it has in fact happened.

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: Dr. Sharma has actually left the HSE now. Am I right in saying that?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: When Mr. Reid talked about difficulties in recruitment and recruitment challenges, it struck me that for anybody looking on and anybody who has read the report into CAMHS, it is certainly not an advertisement for recruitment to see the treatment of people who highlight issues. As a public healthcare provider, you would imagine that the HSE would be eternally grateful to people who flag what...

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: If there is a probe into it, the question is if it will be internal or external.

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: I am talking about top management or the lack of management. That report tells of failures in clinical practice, governance and oversight. Mr. Reid is the head buck cat. Surely that report is not disputed.

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: I thank Mr. Reid for that. Does he have a record of how many times across the board, not just in CAMHS, the HSE has had to make an apology to patients it has failed, some catastrophically? Does he have any idea of the number of times the HSE has had to apologise?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: Does the HSE keep a record?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: My time is limited. We are not talking about front-line staff. We know all of that. If it was not for them, one would hate to think what sort of health service we would have, because all the problems stem from lack of governance and top management. That is why I am putting these questions to Mr. Reid, as the CEO of the HSE. Does he have a record of how many times the HSE has had to...

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: It would be wise to do that and, going forward, to have a record of how many times there were catastrophic cases for families. It might be good due diligence to keep a record of that and perhaps it would be a learning curve for Mr. Reid going forward.

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: As head buck cat, the buck stops with Mr. Reid. The Taoiseach advised that there would be a full audit of CAMHS in terms of compliance with guidelines on prescribing. Could Mr. Reid advise whether the audit has begun?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: Does Mr. Reid know if there are timelines for completion?

Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: I am sorry to interrupt, but time is of the essence. Would Ms O'Connor be able to furnish us with those details?
