Health Care Services: Motion (19 Jan 2011)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate. On many occasions, the House has discussed the health service and this is another opportunity to do so. The debate, however, seems to revolve continuously around the same old story, which is that the solution to the crisis in the health service is to get rid of the Government regardless of who is in power.

Health Care Services: Motion (19 Jan 2011)

Timmy Dooley: I am sure it would be no different if there was another party on the Government benches.

Health Care Services: Motion (19 Jan 2011)

Timmy Dooley: They want to get rid of the Government, bring in a new policy and develop a new system. The notion of money following the patient, which Deputy Costello talked about, is not a bad system. I understand that has been proffered by both parties in the run up to the election. In tandem with that, however, Deputies from different constituencies want to retain the status quo, regardless of...

Health Care Services: Motion (19 Jan 2011)

Timmy Dooley: They are hiding behind the notion that everything will be retained as it is because they do not want change. They are not prepared to change. They tell the unions what they want to hear when it suits. They tell the staff what they want to hear and say they will keep nurses where they are needed, and that units will also be maintained. Yet they will have a policy where money follows the...

Health Care Services: Motion (19 Jan 2011)

Timmy Dooley: It should be about the quality of care the patient receives and the safety of the service that is delivered. It should also be done to a particular, recognised international standard. It should not be about the grubbiness of appealing to the lowest common denominator in terms of the argument. We have had too much of that. It is facile to suggest that one Minister who is responsible for...

Health Care Services: Motion (19 Jan 2011)

Timmy Dooley: It is wide of the mark but it appeals to the headline writers and the local media. It appeals to whatever angle one wants to use in order to protect the status quo. The Opposition argument is such that they are not looking for the status quo, they want to change it. They are talking about a serious policy, which is a good one, but costly. In addition, it will take a lot of time to...

Health Care Services: Motion (19 Jan 2011)

Timmy Dooley: Somebody may be out sick or somebody may swing the lead on occasions, which can cause problems. I want to reiterate what Deputy Collins said. Some of finest people in the public service work in our health services. Sadly, however, when people denigrate the Minister they believe that it does not affect the morale of those who work in the health service. I can say that it does. My mother...
