Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Budget 2024 Expenditure Ceiling and Resource Allocation for the Department of Health and HSE: Discussion (14 Nov 2023)

John McGuinness: Does the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform share that view?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Budget 2024 Expenditure Ceiling and Resource Allocation for the Department of Health and HSE: Discussion (14 Nov 2023)

John McGuinness: I did not ask about a decision. Before it goes to a decision, there has to be some sort of discussion between the Department and the Minister, surely. Does he share Mr. Moloney's view that the service is well-funded and can deliver?

John McGuinness: I know that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Budget 2024 Expenditure Ceiling and Resource Allocation for the Department of Health and HSE: Discussion (14 Nov 2023)

John McGuinness: Did Mr. Moloney discuss with the Minister whether or not the acute services delivered by the HSE will be delivered without pause or any difficulty in terms of the money that goes to fund them? Perhaps Mr. Dormer could answer the question because he deals with the committee. Does he know if the HSE has enough money to deliver the services in the acute settings for 2023 and 2024?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Budget 2024 Expenditure Ceiling and Resource Allocation for the Department of Health and HSE: Discussion (14 Nov 2023)

John McGuinness: The process for negotiating on this, for me anyway, seems to be flawed. There is too much finger-pointing going on between Ministers and Departments. It is the customer, or the patient, at the end that I feel sorry for, because they really do not know whether they are going to get the services or not with the spat that is going on, according to the reports that we hear from the newspapers.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Budget 2024 Expenditure Ceiling and Resource Allocation for the Department of Health and HSE: Discussion (14 Nov 2023)

John McGuinness: I mentioned the Workplace Relations Commission, WRC. Talks at the WRC broke down on the basis that management, Department of Health and HSE efforts to progress the matter were completely blocked by the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan and Reform, which did not send a representative. The breakdown represents a complete breach of the WRC agreement of 19 May 2023,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Budget 2024 Expenditure Ceiling and Resource Allocation for the Department of Health and HSE: Discussion (14 Nov 2023)

John McGuinness: On the freeze, I had an email from a lady which I do not have time to get into. She emailed me to tell me that she got a job in the HSE, a fairly senior, responsible position. She gave in her notice where she was working. Now she is being told there is no job. Mr. Moloney might check the transcripts of the meeting and let us have replies to the questions that perhaps were not answered or...
