Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Brian Stanley: Okay, that would be appreciated, if Mr. Gloster could help the Deputy with that. I call Deputy Colm Burke.

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Brian Stanley: Could I intervene for a second? There are a number of issues. Deputy Burke can continue with the question, but there is one which I am intimately aware of, and have been dealing with HSE management on. However, there are factors, and I will outline them when Deputy Burke is finished.

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Brian Stanley: I will let Deputy Murphy in during the next round. Abbeyleix is the one Deputy Burke is talking about, the old nursing unit there. That was pencilled in to be closed this time 12 years ago, but that was revisited and kept open, and rightly so, after a local campaign. It is recognised by the HSE that it was the right thing to do. It is a brilliant site and a brilliant location. The issue...

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Brian Stanley: The current situation is a recipe for chaos. There must be one manager and one management structure. Abbeyleix is a small unit with 22 beds and a day care centre attached. It needs a single management structure. In addition, the step-down service for taking patients from acute care must be opened. Will Mr. Gloster give me a commitment on those points?

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Brian Stanley: Part of the problem is that only seven out of 22 beds were being used.

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Brian Stanley: That is the problem and it is why we need the 22 beds to be open. The good news story is that there are people who have really benefited from being in Abbeyleix. I gave one example. It is only in recent weeks that I got word from that woman about her mother.

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Brian Stanley: That is the good news story about Abbeyleix. Ten out of ten to the staff and the new manager. Deputy Verona Murphy wants to come back in with a brief question, for which she has three minutes.

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Brian Stanley: I have a quick question regarding the number of people leaving hospital emergency departments. We assume that most of them were in need of medical care, although people will leave for different reasons, particularly at weekends, when they go in and out, and staff are being hassled, threatened and everything else. People may have to leave for other reasons. Is it correct that, last year, the...
