Anne Rabbitte: I am interested to hear the opinions of the witnesses on European pricing and the market pressures that are possibly influencing dominant players throughout Europe with regard to beef. Has the CCPC come across this?

Written Answers — Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Consumer Protection (25 Sep 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: 107. To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if her attention has been drawn to the fact that a recent survey by an association (details supplied) found that, of a sample of toys purchased from third party sellers on online marketplaces, 58% were non-compliant with UK toy safety regulations and 22% had significant safety issues; and the steps she is taking to address this....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank our guests for their presentations. I will break up my questions into three sections. What constitutes a team for youth mental health and how many teams are there?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: The report to which I referred earlier states the HSE quarterly performance report for January to March 2019 shows that all but two of the nine community healthcare organisations, CHOs, fall below the target of a 100% response rate to acute CAMHS referrals, with the service in Connacht and Ulster especially well below target, at 54.6% and 29.6%, respectively, for the CHOs covering the region....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: It is clear that geography plays a part. A child in an emergency in Connacht or Ulster will not receive the same response or support that he or she would in another part of the country. Is that a fair reading?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: I suppose that brings me back to the first question I asked. We have been told that 60% of teams are fully and adequately staffed with the complete cohort of 13 people. How many of the teams in the Connacht-Ulster region are fully staffed?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: I would also like to ask about the disability side of the mental health issue. How is the integration going on, particularly for young people who present with issues relating to CAMHS, ADHD and Asperger's syndrome? As the witnesses are probably aware, approximately 200 young people were on the CAMHS waiting list in Galway. There was a complete overhaul 12 months ago. Now there is a...

Anne Rabbitte: All right.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: With the height of respect, a team cannot function unless everybody is part of the team. That is the definition of a team.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: Everybody must be there and everybody must have a function. Surely everybody has a role to play within the team. There are different levels of sign-off. How can there be sign-off at different levels if there is not a full complement on the team?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: According to the report I mentioned earlier, in 2017 CAMHS made progress on reducing the number of young people waiting more than 12 months for an appointment. By March of this year, however, increasing demand for services had led to a combined national waiting list of 2,738 young people. This represents both a year-on-year increase and a higher figure than had been anticipated by the HSE....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (25 Sep 2019)

Agrifood and Rural Development: Motion (24 Sep 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank my colleagues for giving me the opportunity to speak, and I thank the Rural Independent Group for bringing this motion before the House. Anybody from a rural community will thoroughly understand that the past eight weeks have been very difficult, not just for the farmers on the picket lines but also for the staff inside the gates and for the farming families at home who let the...
