Vote 38 - Department of Health (5 Jul 2018) Seán Fleming: Absolutely, the system is working well. I have a series of questions to put to the Department. Some of these issues relate to process and some relate specifically to the financial statements. I hope Mr. Mulvany is listening. I would like an update on an issue that has crossed our desk recently. I do not want the response now. It relates to the Harold's Cross hospice. There was a HSE...

Vote 38 - Department of Health (5 Jul 2018) Seán Fleming: Mr. Connaghan gets the point. We want a bit of clarity on that. Deputy Cullinane mentioned the consultants' contract and the enforcement issue which led to the private security people's actions. This came up at the committee in February. I subsequently asked the Minister for Health a parliamentary question about whose job it was to ensure the consultants comply with their contract. The...

Vote 38 - Department of Health (5 Jul 2018) Seán Fleming: Okay. Will Mr. Woods tell us the list of vacant posts in the HSE at the moment? We are told in some cases there are more vacancies than people applying across the different categories. How many unfilled positions are out there? It is not specifically what is filled by agency. People would like to know, where there is approval for X number of consultants, X number of non-consultant...

Vote 38 - Department of Health (5 Jul 2018) Seán Fleming: On the CervicalCheck issue, I do not understand why everyone is using the word "audit" all day. I would have thought it was very simple. If somebody is diagnosed with cervical cancer, the obvious thing to do would be to look at whatever information is on file in the system about that person. That should include any screening that was done. An audit is not needed. If somebody is...

Vote 38 - Department of Health (5 Jul 2018) Seán Fleming: In the chart given to the committee which was referred to this morning, the process starts with a national screening programme letter inviting women to participate in free cervical screening. At the bottom, it says a letter advising women of the availability of results and recommendation has also been sent to the GP. Are we saying that in all these cases the GP has something in his or her...
