Public Accounts Committee: Special Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Nursing Homes Support Scheme: Discussion (1 Oct 2020)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: It is not just about challenging behaviours. The provision of good care for people with dementia is about providing a more proactive, socially focused form of care. Such provision is necessarily more expensive because it requires more day-to-day attention than in the case of somebody with a long-term illness who may be bedridden for a long period. It is not just about challenging...

Public Accounts Committee: Special Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Nursing Homes Support Scheme: Discussion (1 Oct 2020)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I am aware of that and of the recent improvements, which I acknowledge. However, take St. Joseph's in Shankill in my area, which is facing significant funding issues. That is my concern. It is linked to the overall funding structure, the NPTF and the nursing homes support scheme process, and the appeals mechanism relating thereto. In the 17 seconds I have left, I want to distinguish this...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Business of Special Committee (30 Sep 2020)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: If the restrictions were to expire tomorrow, how would Dr. Glynn feel about it? Would he extend them?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Business of Special Committee (30 Sep 2020)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Tomorrow he would extend them so the next three or four days will be critical in terms of the numbers.

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Business of Special Committee (30 Sep 2020)

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Business of Special Committee (29 Sep 2020)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: It was very clear when Dr. Ronan Glynn was before this committee a number of weeks ago — it may have been five or six weeks ago-----

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Business of Special Committee (29 Sep 2020)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: That is correct. It was extremely helpful because, at that point, Dr. Glynn was very clearly signalling the danger we were facing, particularly regarding Dublin. Therefore, through that conversation, the committee had the benefit of being able to get that information early. It did not undermine NPHET in any way, nor did it seek to do so in any way, and it was completely constructive. I...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Update on Testing and Tracing and Rising Incidence in the State (29 Sep 2020)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the witnesses for coming in. I will focus on schools. As a society, we have prioritised getting schools back and all the way through the roadmap, one can see the priority is keeping schools open for the obvious psycho-social and educational benefits for children of attending school. Testing and tracing in my area has not been fast enough in respect of schools. I will raise a...
