Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Regional Health Areas Advisory Group (26 Oct 2022)

David Cullinane: I welcome Mr. Kearns. His opening statement is music to our ears. Everything he said has been said by us for some time. At our first session on RHAs, many of the arguments made by Mr. Kearns in his opening statement were made by us to the head of the Department and the head of the HSE at the time. I will discuss some of the points made by Mr. Kearns in his opening statement and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Regional Health Areas Advisory Group (26 Oct 2022)

David Cullinane: I think Mr. Kearns is saying it is complex. My question concerned whether, at senior management level, the HSE is really committed to these changes. In his opening statement, Mr. Kearns said that there should be a guarantee of independence and authority for the RHAs commensurate with the responsibility they are being given. I agree with that. He went on to say we need absolute clarity as...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Regional Health Areas Advisory Group (26 Oct 2022)

David Cullinane: I must put it to Mr. Kearns that if we are talking about devolved authority and responsibility, accountable autonomy and making sure these RHAs have their budgets and the authority on how to spend it, their not being a legal entity and not being the employer constitutes a problem.

David Cullinane: That is welcomed but does it mean a memo would have to be brought to Cabinet by the Minister if there was a change, which I imagine there would be because it would require new legislation and to be signed off by Cabinet?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Regional Health Areas Advisory Group (26 Oct 2022)

David Cullinane: Regarding corporate function and the memo signed off on by Cabinet, can Mr. Kearns square this with what is in his opening statement? I agree we need a HSE centre to provide governance, clear guidance and consistency. I think we all accept that. We need a lead HSE centre. However, when it states that the HSE centre provides all corporate functions, including all central procurement,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Regional Health Areas Advisory Group (26 Oct 2022)

David Cullinane: I think we are all on the same page. I think Mr. Kearns will find members of the committee agree with everything he is saying. We need people to listen. There needs to be a shift in the mindset in the HSE. I think the Department wants change but there is some resistance from the HSE. I am not saying that some of that is not justified because it wants to provide that central guidance....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Regional Health Areas Advisory Group (26 Oct 2022)

David Cullinane: -----which is the last thing we need. Thousands of organisations are funded by the HSE. We have a complex healthcare system, with voluntary hospitals but also all the section 38 and 39 organisations. The business case here, signed off on by the Cabinet, states the HSE centre will approve all service level agreements, SLAs, with voluntary organisations. I am not sure how this is going to...
