Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update On Health Issues: Discussion (18 Oct 2017)

Alan Kelly: This is a quick-fire round. It appears that the capital programme will be eaten up by the children's hospital. Will there be provision to progress the maternity strategy, which I have spoken about numerous times? The mid-west is waiting for a couple of million euro just to keep things ticking over and cannot seem to get funding. I note the internal letter on opening up the new accident...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update On Health Issues: Discussion (18 Oct 2017)

Alan Kelly: The profile of over 65 year olds in the area is much greater. The Minister is right about discharges, but how and to where would people be discharged? Intermediate vehicles and ambulances are not present to do the job. Of course Ennis and Nenagh hospitals have bed capacity, but they do not have the necessary transport capacity. I have been raising this issue for a considerable time....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update On Health Issues: Discussion (18 Oct 2017)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update On Health Issues: Discussion (18 Oct 2017)

Alan Kelly: I have not finished. I do not expect Mr. O'Brien to cross into the line of a legal case. For the information of the Chairman and public, I asked the Minister the question earlier and he has passed it on to Mr. O'Brien. Mr. O'Brien has now said he is going to send in a written answer.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update On Health Issues: Discussion (18 Oct 2017)

Alan Kelly: One second. There is scope for Mr. O'Brien to answer the question without crossing into the legal area. I presume he fully supports the local HSE in regard to its actions.

There are many other regulations also. We discussed this matter here and we did so at a meeting of the Committee of Public Accounts for different reasons, concerning the spending of money. The point, however, is...
