Seán Crowe: Apologies, Mr. Reid, but the sound is dropping out. We will suspend for a few minutes. I assume the witnesses are getting the same feedback. Yes. It is not just the malware. We have had similar difficulties with the IT system in Leinster House. It has been going on for weeks now. We will resume at 9.40 a.m., when it is hoped the issue will have been resolved.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Cyberattack, Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out and Covid-19 Restrictions in Maternity Hospitals: Health Service Executive (23 Jun 2021)

Seán Crowe: I will follow on from that point about the maternity hospital visits. I am listening to what the witnesses are saying about the risk balance and the argument that you can be as compassionate as you wish but it is down to the layout of the hospitals. The simple question is whether the hospitals are looking at their layouts. Can anything be done to rearrange wards? I am told this has...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Cyberattack, Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out and Covid-19 Restrictions in Maternity Hospitals: Health Service Executive (23 Jun 2021)

Seán Crowe: Does Mr. McCallion have advice for people who are watching this meeting and have loved ones who have not been called? Should they get in touch with the HSE locally or their local doctors? What should they do?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Cyberattack, Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out and Covid-19 Restrictions in Maternity Hospitals: Health Service Executive (23 Jun 2021)

Seán Crowe: Regarding vaccine hesitancy, which is an awful phrase, or reluctance, is a new approach being adopted? Mr. Reid mentioned more than 150,000 over-50s in that regard. A number of them might have religious or moral grounds for not taking the vaccine. Within the HSE and some of its service providers, will there be a campaign in respect of those who feel that they still do not have sufficient...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Cyberattack, Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out and Covid-19 Restrictions in Maternity Hospitals: Health Service Executive (23 Jun 2021)

Seán Crowe: Some people will be thinking about holidays and travelling abroad. The committee has been seeking information on the digital green certificate. What input and role will the HSE have in that process? For those who may be thinking of travelling abroad, would the HSE recommend it for those who have received two jabs? What would it recommend in respect of those who have only had one jab or...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Cyberattack, Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out and Covid-19 Restrictions in Maternity Hospitals: Health Service Executive (23 Jun 2021)

Seán Crowe: On behalf of the committee, I thank the witnesses and apologise for the delay. I extend our thanks to the staff within the HSE who are not only rolling out the vaccine, but providing all of its other services as well. The committee will adjourn. It will meet again in private session at 9.30 a.m. on Wednesday, 7 July, as the select committee will meet in public session next Wednesday, 30...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Cyberattack, Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out and Covid-19 Restrictions in Maternity Hospitals: Health Service Executive (23 Jun 2021)

Seán Crowe: Good. Deputy Durkan talked about gaps in the vaccine roll-out. The last time the witnesses were before the committee one gap was people who are housebound. I think the figure given was that about 200 people were housebound at that time. We were told the ambulance service was handling call-outs and vaccinations but there were logistical difficulties. Is that resolved at this stage, do the...

State Pension Age: Motion [Private Members] (22 Jun 2021)

Seán Crowe: The Government intends to raise the pension age to 67 from next year. Forcing people to work for years longer when they were planning and expecting to retire is wrong. It is even more wrong because those of us in this Parliament who are making these decisions and forcing them on people are not being asked to do the same. In 2028, the Government intends to raise the pension age to 68. This...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (17 Jun 2021)

Seán Crowe: I was recently informed by the HSE that CHO 7, which includes my constituency, Dublin South-West, the waiting time for speech and language therapy was at 38 months. Occupational therapy was at 27 months and a psychological assessment was 32 months. The Tánaiste will probably recall that I raised this issue in the previous Dáil and in this Dáil. We appear to have a broken...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Business of Joint Committee (9 Jun 2021)

Before we commence our formal proceedings, I need to address an issue of committee housekeeping. The draft minutes for the meetings of 1 June and 2 June have been circulated. Are they agreed? Agreed.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Sláintecare: Department of Health (9 Jun 2021)

Seán Crowe: I welcome our witnesses to this meeting. They will provide us with an update on the implementation of Sláintecare. I should also mention that the Sláintecare Implementation Strategy and Action Plan 2021-2023 was published last month and makes for interesting reading. I welcome, from the Sláintecare programme implementation office in the Department of Health, Ms Laura Magahy,...
