Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Health Related Issues: Update (2 Mar 2021)

David Cullinane: I wish to raise a point of order. We wrote to the Minister a number of times and the matter was raised twice in private session that we would ask him to set out his position regarding pay and allowances for student nurses and midwives in his opening statement. The matter was not addressed in his opening statement. It would be very unfair if time for members was eaten into by the Minister...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Health Related Issues: Update (2 Mar 2021)

David Cullinane: I thank the Chairman for his indulgence, which I appreciate. It was important for the Minister to set out his position on this issue.

I ask the Minister to revisit this issue, engage with the healthcare trade unions and put in place a fair settlement. There is universal political support for dealing with this once and for all. I hear what...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Health Related Issues: Update (2 Mar 2021)

David Cullinane: I will ask the Minister about testing and tracing, which is important as well. Unless we keep on top of the virus and unless we can keep the numbers down low, that will present more challenges for our healthcare system. The best we can do is to make sure that the overall strategy is correct in terms of the public health strategy and all of the tools that we have at our disposal are working....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Health Related Issues: Update (2 Mar 2021)

David Cullinane: Is the Minister responding?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Health Related Issues: Update (2 Mar 2021)

David Cullinane: I will put one last question, if I may. We had all of the healthcare unions before us a number of weeks ago. There was much understandable frustration where they were representing their members who felt - in my view, rightly so - overworked, exhausted and at burnout. I want to relay to the Minister one remark that was made by the representative of the Irish Hospital Consultants...
