David Cullinane: It is important that we have time to debate and discuss the provision of abortion services in the State following the publication of the independent review of the operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018 that was published last month. In 2018 people voted for women to have access to services. The provision of termination of pregnancy services was endorsed by...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)

David Cullinane: I welcome Mr. Gloster. I know of one case of a 78-year-old woman who arrived in an emergency department, referred by her GP. She arrived last week into University Hospital Waterford at 3 p.m. with her daughter. She was triaged very quickly but was then left on a chair for hours on end. Her daughter had to leave her in the early hours of the morning because she was working the following...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)

David Cullinane: What would Mr. Gloster say to the families who experience that every day? It is like Groundhog Day. We are having the same discussions all the time but this seems to be the norm. The trolley figures range from somewhere between 500 and 600 every day. It has almost become normal. How are we going to change that? I would just pick up on the issue of the seven-day service. I understand...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)

David Cullinane: That is really welcome. When I hear the word "mandate" I think that is exactly what we need to hear. Where there is best practice, it needs to be mandated. We need to move away from talk of "encouraging" and saying we will talk about something and examine it. Where things need to be done, they need to be done and we need decisive leadership. I welcome the fresh approach Mr. Gloster is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Hospital Waiting Lists: Motion [Private Members] (23 May 2023)

David Cullinane: Behind all of the facts and numbers that were presented in both the Sinn Féin motion and the countermotion from the Government are real people and their experiences. We heard many of those stories shared by Deputies from right across the political divide. The stories of older people left waiting on hospital trolleys, sometimes for days on end, were shared. Many people do not even make...

David Cullinane: I move: That Dáil Éireann: notes that: — the average waiting time for emergency department admission so far this year stands at 11.5 hours, which is an hour longer than for the same period in 2019; — the trolley scandal which Fine Gael pledged to end is now worse than ever and has become a year-round threat to patient safety, with an average of more than 550...

Targeted Investment in the Health Service: Motion [Private Members] (17 May 2023)

David Cullinane: I commend the Independent Group on tabling this Private Member's motion. The heart of this motion is that we should better utilise model 1 and model 2 hospitals, but particularly model 2 hospitals, to take pressure away from the model 3 and model 4 hospitals. As a previous Deputy said, we are ten years into the framework for smaller hospitals and we are still not using them to best effect....
