- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: General Practitioner Services (10 Feb 2022)
Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Senator. She is being very rational in the context of her proposals. If we do not do that early intervention piece, it has a knock-on effect whereby it is more costly in the long run to our health system. I urge the Department of Health and those with whom it is having consultations , be it the HSE or GP practices, to talk about the same cohort of people who need that care....

- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Departmental Strategies (9 Feb 2022)
Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Senator for raising this matter. I know it is an issue she is continuously working on and trying to progress so it is great to have the opportunity to provide the House with an update.

- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Departmental Strategies (9 Feb 2022)
Anne Rabbitte: The wonderful thing about this working group is it will be an opportunity, as I said, to consider what worked well in the past and what resources were removed from people with disabilities which gave them independent access to participation. We all know from people coming to our offices how limited the primary medical certification is, and I think the courts have told us as well. I must...

I have a script that I will read. It has been forwarded by the HSE in the west, from Saolta, but I do not accept the answer. It is not good...

The Department knows that the ICT systems in the HSE are back up and running, not just across the Saolta group but in all the various groups. I will also ask that this matter be included on the agenda for the...
