Jim Daly: There should not be any issue. I would be concerned if there were an issue. If the Deputy is telling me that a minor issue is being held up because of funding in the Department in Galway, I would like to hear the details of that. If the Deputy sends me the details after this debate, I will have the matter checked out for her. As she knows, there has been a significant increase in mental...

Seanad: Health Services Provision: Statements (12 Nov 2019)

Jim Daly: St. Joseph's in Shankill is part of the St. John of God Hospitaller Services Group. It provides residential care and day care for service users, all of whom have a diagnosis of dementia.

Not enough people know what day-care places actually entail. There is a nurse in...

Seanad: Health Services Provision: Statements (12 Nov 2019)

Jim Daly: I am quite happy to come back to the House if Senators want a wider debate on the NTPF, nursing homes and levels of care. We face a particular challenge of which this issue is probably a symptom. I want to get to the cause as I cannot go into detail on individual symptomatic cases such as this one. This is about a negotiation between a State body, namely, the NTPF, and St. John of God.

Seanad: Health Services Provision: Statements (12 Nov 2019)

Jim Daly: The Senator raised a number of issues that are separate to this matter, but one particular issue does arise here.I am referring to the lack of flexibility in the system to acknowledge increased levels of care and this is where the difficulty arises. I am acutely aware that some nursing homes and care providers go above and beyond the call of duty. They do not just provide the standard level...
