Vote 38 - Health
Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed) (6 Oct 2022)

Alan Dillon: Recently we have seen real issues around pay parity and significant difficulties with retention and recruitment. Without these agencies, the HSE would not be able to deliver services on the ground. It is very important that we continue to support them to ensure we can deliver services locally.

Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed) (6 Oct 2022)

Alan Dillon: Regarding the HSE's role in the delivery of the Covid pandemic recognition payment and not taking responsibility for the payments for section 39 organisations, where are we in terms of trying to deliver that payment? Perhaps somebody from the Department of Health could also answer that question because they were to the fore during the pandemic response. The delay in them receiving this...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Budget 2023 (4 Oct 2022)

Alan Dillon: It can be simply said that families were the biggest winners in this year's budget, but also that there were a considerable number of measures for young people. Certainly, the once-off reduction in the student contribution of €1,000 for eligible students, the once-off €1,000 increase for the postgraduate fee contributions and a once-off double monthly payment for those in...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Budget 2023 (4 Oct 2022)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Risk Management (4 Oct 2022)

Alan Dillon: I thank the Minister of State for his response. As I said, this scheme has been ongoing for close to seven years now. While I welcome the update, does the Minister of State agree that urgent reform is needed regarding the planning system concerning these types of projects to avoid similar delays for future developments? What role is the OPW playing in driving reform in this area?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Risk Management (4 Oct 2022)

Alan Dillon: I thank the Minister of State for that update, but, again, for the people of Crossmolina watching tonight they are still affected by a situation where a judicial review of a scheme in County Cork is jeopardising 116 properties in Crossmolina that have been subjected to repeated flooding. Those people's safety and livelihoods are at risk. I know the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donovan, and...

Alan Dillon: I commend the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Michael McGrath, and the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe, on the €11 billion cost-of-living budget. I believe last week's budget achieved the right balance between helping people in the short term and planning for an uncertain future.

Housing for All Update: Statements (Resumed) (4 Oct 2022)
