Inquiry into the death of Shane O'Farrell: Motion [Private Members] (9 Jul 2024)

Seán Crowe: The events that led to the death of Shane O'Farrell were a series of failures by the authorities. On 2 August 2011, Shane O'Farrell was killed while cycling home when he was struck by a car driven by a man who was out on bail and should have been in jail. I commend the family of Shane O'Farrell on their fight for justice and truth. I have met them several times and have always admired...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Seán Crowe: One of the reasons Tallaght hospital was included was that the community asked for a report. We were trying to get a sense of what was happening around the country. Tallaght hospital experienced both the winter vomiting bug and Covid-19 and that was the big challenge it faced. As the CEO said, that is also happening in other places. I welcome the members of the Neurological Alliance of...

Seán Crowe: Those representatives said there is a big gap in the community.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Seán Crowe: You have the event and are brought to hospital. The next step is to try to get you home, but if you do not have the support in the home, you are not able to make that transition. It is about that pathway. There are simple things, such as getting an occupational therapist, OT, to say that you might need a shower rail or a ramp going into the house. These are all simple things. In some...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Seán Crowe: That leads us to the gaps in services. There is a lack of community nurses to call to people in the community. All those ABCs are simple things but if they are not joined up, there is a gap. The impact on individuals is delayed recovery because they are not getting those supports. People have told me that the longer recovery takes, the more difficult and challenging it will be. If...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Seán Crowe: Going back to the group who was before the committee previously, they made the point that there is an overreliance on the voluntary and charity sector and it is not getting proper funding. People are being recruited to the public sector and so on. There is a big challenge within the system.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Seán Crowe: Mr. Gloster said earlier that he did not want to look at every job in the context of the recruitment freeze. I want to look at one area. I am glad Senator Conway raised the issue of the recruitment freeze. There is almost a narrative that the HSE was recruiting staff willy-nilly. When public representatives ask questions about key personnel who are missing, we are told it is the result of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Seán Crowe: People have been talking about local areas. There is no dietician in CHO 7 at the moment. I was dealing with a family with a newborn child, and the child is now one and a half years of age. To try to see a consultant, the pathway would normally be through the dietician, but the family cannot use that pathway as there is no dietician. The only other pathway is to try to get a skin-prick...
