Róisín Shortall: Would the NCCP agree with the kind of figure the witnesses are talking about?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Facing Community-based Cancer Support Services: Discussion (29 May 2024)

Róisín Shortall: Given the importance of the support work the centres do, would the NCCP have any role in starting centres in areas that do not have them? I am looking at Dublin because I am a Dublin TD. There are many areas of Dublin that do not have centres, and I am sure the same applies all over the country. There is a big element of postcode lottery. Would the NCCP be initiating or recommending new...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (23 May 2024)

Róisín Shortall: I wish to raise the issue of the long-awaited of the new national children's hospital, which cannot open soon enough. The understanding all along has been that there will be 380 beds in the facility. This week, Children's Health Ireland, CHI, released an update video about the hospital that in which reference was made to 300 beds. Can the Minister clarify if that was an error on the part...

Committee on Public Petitions: Reopening of Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's Emergency Departments: Discussion (23 May 2024)

Róisín Shortall: Thanks very much, Chair. I thank the Minister for his presentation. On Sláintecare and the reconfiguration of the HSE and the RHAs, one of the key principles of that proposal is that there would be objective resource allocation to each RHA. I am just checking. I take it the Minister supports the principle that we need to end the postcode lottery and ensure all resources are allocated...

Committee on Public Petitions: Reopening of Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's Emergency Departments: Discussion (23 May 2024)

Róisín Shortall: Does the Minister agree with the principle?

Committee on Public Petitions: Reopening of Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's Emergency Departments: Discussion (23 May 2024)

Róisín Shortall: Okay. Taking that principle of fair allocation of resources, when we look down through the existing hospital groups - and leaving aside CHI there are six hospital groups - we see that most of the hospital groups have two level four hospitals. Most of them have three level three hospitals. In fact, one hospital group has four level three hospitals. UHL is a complete outlier because it only...

Committee on Public Petitions: Reopening of Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's Emergency Departments: Discussion (23 May 2024)

Róisín Shortall: Sure, but this point has been resisted for the last few years. It was blindingly obvious that there was an error made in the original reconfiguration of hospitals if there is one hospital group that does not have a level three hospital and therefore no ED. This has been resisted. Many of us have been raising this for quite some time and the Minister has resisted that and people are paying...

Committee on Public Petitions: Reopening of Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's Emergency Departments: Discussion (23 May 2024)

Committee on Public Petitions: Reopening of Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's Emergency Departments: Discussion (23 May 2024)

Róisín Shortall: The Minister likes quoting figures and I saw the report that was published recently by the Irish Government Economic and Evaluation Service. It is a good thing to measure activity because we have to ensure we get productivity. As the Minister said, that chart shows that UHL has gotten more resources cash-wise and staff-wise than any other hospital. I am sure the Minister will agree that...
