Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: Before I go into the substance of this session on hospital overcrowding, I have questions on two other matters for the Minister. Last week, when the Minister was in, we talked about the report from Dr. Maura Quinn. Can he again confirm that the Government has accepted all of the recommendations in that report, and that they will be implemented, and , more importantly, that every civil...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: Could I also ask the Minister about the report into the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018, which is being published today? Perhaps it has already been published. The Irish Timespublished it last night for the Minister, I understand, but it is being formally published today. Given that there are legislative changes as part of that, could the Minister, very briefly,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: I want to finish on this point and go on to the other issues. The committee should absolutely engage with the author of the report and have discussions about how those recommendations were arrived that, and can form opinions but, ultimately, the Government, or whatever Government is in place, has to make decisions on the implementation of the recommendations. Whatever legislative change...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: Can I come to some of the proposals and solutions? I accept there has been some progress but it is quite limited given the major increase that we have seen since 2015. We certainly have a long way to go to get anywhere near the Sláintecare targets. I want to come to some of the solutions, because they are important. Of course, I welcome the rapid build plan for beds, and the 1,500...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: We will wait and see what comes to Cabinet. We need that to happen very quickly. What is the indicative timeframe for the delivery of the elective-only hospitals? There is a lot of talk about these hospitals. We all support them, whatever about the locations that some people might have their own views on. What is the timeframe for their delivery? I want to make a final point to the...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Health Strategies (20 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: Hopefully if the electorate has good sense, I will be the Minister who produces that single piece of paper and plan that will deliver a lot of what the Minister talked about but that has not been delivered. All those ingredients are part of what is needed to reduce waiting lists because while there has been some positive movement in terms of long waiters, far too many people are still...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Health Strategies (20 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: I am sure the Minister will agree that reducing the health waiting lists, the time people must wait for care and the time people must wait in emergency departments needs to be a Government priority. I strongly believe we need a multi-annual plan that considers capacity throughout the healthcare system. It should set out medium- and long-term goals to increase capacity and start meeting some...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Health Strategies (20 Apr 2023)

David Cullinane: My point is not so much about the capacity review because beds comprise only one of the ingredients needed. Having spoken to many hospital managers and front-line healthcare staff, I realise that if we are to reduce waiting lists, we will need more beds. The reason there was such a wide range given for the number of beds that may be required, from 2,500 to 7,500, was the figure was...
