Jim Daly: Gabhaim buíochas as ucht an deis labhairt ar an ábhar tábhachtach seo. Is pribhléid dom é a bheith ar ais arís sa Teach seo ag plé an report seo. I am here with my officials, Mr. Jim Ryan from the HSE and Mr. Greg Canning, principal officer at the Department of Health, who have been monitoring the development of this report.

- Seanad: Report on Children's Mental Health Services: Statements (Resumed) (30 May 2018)
Jim Daly: I will be as brief as I can and try to answer as many queries as possible. To give a holistic overview, Senator Freeman asked a specific question about her Bill going through the Houses and Senator Devine asked the same question. It is not within my gift to decide when Bills come before the House. I do not order the business of the House. In the Dáil that is the function of the...

- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Mental Health Services (29 May 2018)
Jim Daly: I thank the Deputy for his question. A Vision for Change, published in 2006, set out a ten-year policy framework for Ireland's mental health services. It recommended that interventions should be aimed at maximising recovery from mental illness, building on service user and social network resources to achieve meaningful integration and participation in community life. As the Deputy will be...
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Mental Health Services (29 May 2018)
Jim Daly: The Deputy has made a very interesting point. There is no absolute answer to the query he raised as to whether we have enough inpatient beds. Change is always difficult and the change that was envisaged in A Vision for Change was very dramatic, namely, to move away from inpatient care to community care. As the Deputy will be well aware, it is proving to be an ongoing challenge to ensure we...
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Mental Health Services (29 May 2018)
Jim Daly: I could not agree more with the Deputy. When e we look at international comparisons and count the number of beds per 100,000 of the population it can be very misleading and unhelpful to the debate. That suggests that a one-cap-fits-all approach works. Countries have different cultures, sources and resources. We have secure hostels with 24-hour staffing and that is a good model that works...
- Order of Business (29 May 2018)
Jim Daly: I congratulate the Deputy and his colleagues for organising a bus in this regard. This is a very impressive feat and well done to them on that. People can avail of the cataract procedures under the EU directive. People are free to travel to any jurisdiction to avail of that healthcare or they can go to private hospitals within the State. This is covered under the EU healthcare...
- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Health Services Staff Recruitment (29 May 2018)

The condition of multiple sclerosis is managed within the HSE clinical programme for neurology. The role of the clinical nurse specialist in neurology is to provide for the care and ongoing management of patients within agreed clinical practice guidelines. In addition to...

- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Blood Donations (29 May 2018)
Jim Daly: I thank the Senator. The remit of the Irish Blood Transfusion Service, IBTS, is to provide a safe, reliable and robust blood service to the Irish health system. A major objective of the IBTS is to ensure that it always has the necessary programmes and procedures in place to protect both the recipients and the donors of blood and blood products. The IBTS constantly keeps all deferral...
- Written Answers — Department of Health: Health Service Capacity Review (29 May 2018)
Jim Daly: Residential care is provided through a mix of public, private and voluntary provision. At present the Nursing Homes Support Scheme provides financial support to approximately 23,000 people in long term nursing home care. The Capacity Review noted that if key reforms and productivity measures are implemented, 13,000 extra residential care beds will be required by 2031 to meet...
- Written Answers — Department of Health: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (29 May 2018)

This is being delivered by the HSE in the context of its agreed annual Service Plans. Significant progress has been made over recent years, underpinned by additional funding since 2012 to develop mental...
- Written Answers — Department of Health: Suicide Prevention (29 May 2018)
Jim Daly: Suicide is a tragedy which has devastating effects for individuals, families and wider society. Addressing suicide and its causes is a priority for myself and for the Government. The HSE has advised me that the 3-year moving average rate of suicide in South Dublin is recorded as 6.8 per 100,000 population for the period 2013-2015 and 5.0 per 100,000 for the period 2014-2016. ...
