David Cullinane: My questions are for Mr. Reid.

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Children's Unmet Needs: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Mar 2022)

David Cullinane: I thank Dr. Muldoon for his work in this area and for his report. My questions are for Mr. Reid and not his team, given that they are about the HSE's legal responsibilities and he is the head of the HSE. Under section 13 of the 2005 Act, there is a legal obligation on the executive of the HSE to provide the Minister for Health with a report setting out the aggregate needs identified in...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Children's Unmet Needs: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Mar 2022)

David Cullinane: Bear with me for a second. I just want to make a point first. Mr. Reid is the head of the HSE. There is a statutory obligation on the HSE to furnish these reports to the Minister. I already have this information through a response to a parliamentary question. The reports for 2015 to 2020, inclusive, were not submitted to the Minister. That is a breach of the law. Mr. Reid is the head...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Children's Unmet Needs: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Mar 2022)

David Cullinane: I am sorry, but the witnesses are missing the point. I am infuriated with the responses that I have received through parliamentary questions on these issues. I will cite further examples of where the HSE was in breach of the law. The HSE needs to understand that we are discussing children with disabilities and a breach in the law, given that there is a legal requirement on it to provide...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Children's Unmet Needs: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Mar 2022)

David Cullinane: I would like that in writing. I have tabled parliamentary questions and I have not received replies. I have read the reply to the question I put and I was told that the information was not available. I am genuinely frustrated because we are talking about children with disabilities. There have been multiple breaches of the law. I believe the HSE is cutting corners. It was in breach of...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Children's Unmet Needs: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Mar 2022)

David Cullinane: My comments are not directed at staff; they are directed at the management of the services. I repeat what I said; we should be ashamed of ourselves given the level of services that some children are not getting. If Professor MacLachlan read any of the reports from AsIAm or Inclusion Ireland on the surveys they carried out, the vast majority of children get no services or get patchy or...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Children's Unmet Needs: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Mar 2022)

David Cullinane: I want to come back to something that the head of the HSE, Mr. Reid, said in his opening statement. He said that of the children who got this preliminary team assessment, 54% of them required a multidisciplinary team assessment. He went on to say that this does not delay their access to health services. That is not correct. In theory it might be correct, but the reality is different. I...
