- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Jim Daly: Obviously, they are taking on a degree of responsibility when they are referring so they would need to have an appropriate qualification and they must be a triage person because they would have to be able to detect if it is much more serious than the person presenting says it is. For example, has the person suicidal ideation? The person at the other end of a phone line would need a level of...

Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Jim Daly: As a result of Deputy Durkan's contribution today, I will certainly ensure that there is more liaison with the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection as we progress that statutory scheme. Waiting lists were referred to. Why are there waiting lists? I know the point being made. Why can we not deal with everything today or tomorrow? It is not all about money, but money...

Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Jim Daly: We have to be careful. A lot of administrators are front-line staff. People assume that administrators are people in back offices, pushing paper around. However, they are involved in processing medical cards and things like that. We must think carefully about whether we want to institute a pause on the hiring of administrators. Deputies should feel free to-----

Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Jim Daly: I take the Deputy's point on board, but I am not sure that there is any policy of focusing on additional administrative staff instead of front-line staff within the HSE. I can only speak for myself however. If we want to be pedantic about it and talk about what administrators do, I am sure they would argue that a lot of their time is spent dealing with the political process, that is,...

Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Jim Daly: I do not know if the Cabinet is meeting in the next two weeks. I understand that the Minister will bring specific proposals on developing Sláintecare to Cabinet in the next three to four weeks. An executive director will be appointed within the same period. That recruitment process is substantially under way at the moment, and should be completed within the next three to four weeks....

Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Jim Daly: We must be careful not to talk the GP career down to new aspiring candidates. My own son was with me at the event last weekend, and he told me he would love to be a GP. We have to ensure that we protect the future. These efforts will be made in tandem. We must increase the number of training places. We cannot simply state that all new GPs will all emigrate and throw our hat at the issue....

- Services for People with Disabilities: Motion [Private Members] (27 Mar 2018)
Jim Daly: I thank the Deputies for their contributions to the debate on this important motion relating to disabilities.

The late Stephen Hawking said: "My advice to other disabled people would be to concentrate...
