- Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Mental Health Services (14 Jul 2020)
Róisín Shortall: Okay. My next question is for Mr. Rogan. What has he come across in terms of substance misuse arising from mental health issues associated with Covid, particularly relating to prescription drugs, alcohol and other drugs?
- Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Mental Health Services (14 Jul 2020)
Róisín Shortall: Has that increased? I am asking what is being found in the context of Covid apart from the general problems we have. Have the problems been exacerbated?
- Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Mental Health Services (Resumed) (14 Jul 2020)
Róisín Shortall: I welcome all the witnesses. I want to start off by asking some questions about children who have been very severely affected by the restrictions arising from Covid. I refer to the fear, being closed in, the loss of contact with friends, and the loss of involvement in school activities, in particular. These have had a pretty severe impact on children in the early stages of development. We...

Róisín Shortall: What period is Dr. Doody talking about?
- Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Mental Health Services (Resumed) (14 Jul 2020)
Róisín Shortall: Yes but what period is Dr. Doody talking about? Was this prior to the period of Covid-19?
- Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Mental Health Services (Resumed) (14 Jul 2020)
Róisín Shortall: In the context of the significant impact of Covid-19 on that age group, specifically what is the HSE proposing to do to address those needs?
- Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Mental Health Services (Resumed) (14 Jul 2020)
Róisín Shortall: With all due respect, I am not asking Dr. Doody about that and many people did not want to access services because of the dangers involved. Given that we know there are significant needs in that age group, what services, if any, is the HSE proposing to provide to respond to that need?
- Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Mental Health Services (Resumed) (14 Jul 2020)
Róisín Shortall: I appreciate that. Is the HSE proposing to provide any new services to deal with mental health issues in the primary school and preschool age cohorts?
- Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Mental Health Services (Resumed) (14 Jul 2020)
Róisín Shortall: It is disappointing the HSE has not arranged any additional services. Before Covid-19, the HSE's services were not coping and there is a clear need for additional services arising from Covid-19. It is disappointing that we are at a point where we hope children will be back at school in September but no work has been done on developing new school-based services to meet that need. I...
- Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Mental Health Services (Resumed) (14 Jul 2020)
Róisín Shortall: Are we going to see those two services being combined and will the HSE stop making that artificial distinction between mental health issues and addiction?
- Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Mental Health Services (Resumed) (14 Jul 2020)
Róisín Shortall: When can we expect those services to be combined and delivered as a single service?
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Jul 2020)
Róisín Shortall: I thank the Tánaiste. I welcome the fact that there will be a promotional campaign to improve uptake. That is especially important among healthcare workers, as the Tánaiste stated. He referred to a quantum leap, which would be very welcome. Can he clarify the figures? Leaving aside the nasal drop doses for children, there will be 1.35 million doses of the quadrivalent vaccine....

Róisín Shortall: What is the estimate of the demand?
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Jul 2020)
Róisín Shortall: Have the additional doses been secured?
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Jul 2020)
Róisín Shortall: Is the Tánaiste confident that they will be secured and will be available before the onset of the flu season?
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Jul 2020)
Róisín Shortall: My question relates to the availability of the flu vaccine and the adequacy of the supplies we have now secured for this coming season. It is extraordinary to think that last year more than 4,300 people were hospitalised with seasonal flu. That is more than the total number of people who have been hospitalised with Covid to date. While Ireland works to prevent a second wave of Covid, it...
