Cathal Crowe: Yes.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Regulation of Nursing Homes and Development of a New Model of Care for Older People: Discussion (23 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I apologise sincerely. I have had a few IT glitches, but the good old mobile phone is picking up where the laptop failed, so all is good. I can hear the Chairman and I have been following the debate so I thank him for allowing me in. I have a few points I wish to put to our panel of witnesses. I join others in welcoming them today. A big feature of the first wave of Covid was that GPs...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Regulation of Nursing Homes and Development of a New Model of Care for Older People: Discussion (23 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: There is a huge amount of dialogue about quarantine, particularly with regard to international travel. Is there any quarantining happening in nursing homes? I will be more specific in what I am asking. I know of a number of cases where an individual may have been discharged from hospital in recent weeks but had not yet been vaccinated for Covid. Rather than going home, it was deemed...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Regulation of Nursing Homes and Development of a New Model of Care for Older People: Discussion (23 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: To build on that, I know other colleagues have asked about staffing shortages. Does it concern the private nursing home sector in particular that as we move towards a model of statutory home care, private nursing homes may be pulling from the same pool of people in terms of employment? Are there enough care assistants and home carers in our country or about to be trained up in our country...

Cathal Crowe: I want to touch on the issue of younger people, that is, those under the age of 65, who are in nursing home environments. I have heard Dr. McLellan outlining earlier in the meeting that somewhere in the region of 1,300 people in that age bracket are accommodated in nursing homes. It was broken down in discourse that some were appropriately accommodated and others were inappropriately...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Regulation of Nursing Homes and Development of a New Model of Care for Older People: Discussion (23 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: HIQA gets involved with nursing homes when they are opening up their doors to residents and it is involved in the regulatory process. Should it be involved earlier in the process? What I mean by this is that I am aware of a number of nursing homes that have been built and developed perhaps 1 km or 2 km outside of a town or village. Not everyone in these nursing homes is physically...

Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: Impact of Covid-19 on the Hospitality Sector: Discussion (23 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Chairman for facilitating my participation in the meeting. Like everyone else, what we have heard this afternoon is compelling and harrowing.

I want to touch on a few points and I will try not to repeat what others have said. A few people talked...

Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: Impact of Covid-19 on the Hospitality Sector: Discussion (23 Mar 2021)

Cathal Crowe: There are others offering to speak, but I have other questions and we have limited time. What Mr. McGann just said covers it all. There is a lack of information. He said it was criminal not to know. Absolutely, and the audacity of the CRU in the month of March 2021, one year into Covid-19 and closure, to say that there is a lack of interest and lack of take-up is morally wrong a million...
