Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Review of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Discussion (11 Oct 2023)

John Lahart: I wish Mr. Kelly the very best of luck. We do not have enormous expectations of him today but perhaps we will the next time he is before the committee. If he is the assistant national director, who is the national director?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Review of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Discussion (11 Oct 2023)

John Lahart: We have gone through some of the notes, the witness statements and the written evidence that was presented to us. The Chair and I represent an area in CHO 7. Perhaps for the benefit of people watching the meeting, the HSE is divided into numbered community health areas, and mine is No. 7. In broad brushstrokes, CHO 7 includes north Kildare and south Dublin. It is one of those areas that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Review of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Discussion (11 Oct 2023)

John Lahart: One of the criticisms is that there does not seem to be a lateral thinking approach. This is not a personal criticism; I am trying to be helpful. I am a Government Deputy. What can Government do to assist? Mr. Walsh is talking about it from a helicopter view and level, looking down on it, yet we talk to parents who have a 15- or 16-year-old with urgent and acute needs who have to wait....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Review of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Discussion (11 Oct 2023)

John Lahart: The Chair and I share the same constituency. We attended a meeting where many parents of young adults with disabilities and special needs were present. They talked about how those kids, adolescents and adults get lost in respect of their mental health needs. The disability piece is one element, but the parents spoke about how there are so few supports if they have a combined mental health...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Ethics of End-of-Life Care: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2023)

John Lahart: I thank Ms Walsh, Mr. Wall, Mr. Curran and Mr. Ahern. It is clear they have come more agonisingly close to personally dealing with the ins and outs of this issue than most people have. They have seen the issue and considered it, from both sides, inside and outside. I will make a couple of initial points. I say to Ms Walsh that there is no Bill coming. This committee has been established...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Ethics of End-of-Life Care: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2023)

John Lahart: I do not think Mr. Wall has anything to fear on this. We have heard evidence of the slippery slope. It appears to have happened in some countries. We have also heard evidence of some countries where it is very strictly controlled and where it is confined to end-of-life issues. It seems incontrovertible from the witness testimony we have heard that there are some jurisdictions where what...
