Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: The delays on the part of the Government and the HSE over the past two years in respect of this matter have caused major hurt and distress to the families involved. What is happening is simply not good enough. I have met some of the families involved and am aware that they believe they are being stonewalled. The Tánaiste says they will get sight of the report in a couple of weeks'...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE Winter Plan 2022-2023: HSE (16 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: I want to be associated with the Chair's offer of condolences to the family of the late Vicky Phelan. I also want to commend all of the staff working in our hospitals and in community care and primary care. It is a big challenge at the moment. From talking to those who work in healthcare, they are rising to that challenge but it is a difficult job. There are many challenges in our...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE Winter Plan 2022-2023: HSE (16 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: Of course I appreciate different hospitals have different challenges, and I will get to one of those hospitals in a second. However, we have a much better patient-focused service operating out of one hospital with very high levels of efficient pre-admission and post-admission patient flow, good management of the emergency department and good integration with community services so patients...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE Winter Plan 2022-2023: HSE (16 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: I think that is important.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE Winter Plan 2022-2023: HSE (16 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: I have a lot of questions. I want to move on to waiting lists. Can Mr. Mulvany tell me how many people are on health waiting lists right across the health service at the moment? I am not just talking about acute services. I am looking for the total number of people on all health waiting lists as we sit here today.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE Winter Plan 2022-2023: HSE (16 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: That is the figure we always get. I want to make this point, because it is important. We should not have to put in parliamentary questions to get that total figure. When we are talking about a winter plan to deal with the challenges patients have, I would expect the HSE to know how many people are on waiting lists across all layers of the health service. It should be a big ticket number...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE Winter Plan 2022-2023: HSE (16 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: As he sits here today, does Mr. Mulvany have any idea what the total figure is?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE Winter Plan 2022-2023: HSE (16 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: Before this meetings is finished, can somebody come back with the total number of people on all health waiting lists? In my view, it is approximately 1.2 million but it could be more. It is a huge figure and surely the interim head of the HSE and senior officials here should know what the total figure is. We should not have to put in parliamentary questions in all of these areas to try to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE Winter Plan 2022-2023: HSE (16 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: The total figure is never published.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE Winter Plan 2022-2023: HSE (16 Nov 2022)

David Cullinane: Let me just finish. If the figures are published on a monthly basis then it is not beyond Mr. Mulvany, before this meeting finishes today, to tell this committee how many people are on all health waiting lists across all community, primary and acute hospital waiting lists. What is that total figure across all waiting lists? If I am being told these figures are published every month, I have...

David Cullinane: I cannot understand when we are told the figures are published that somebody cannot give us the figure before the meeting is finished. Where are those figures published?
