Hospital Services: Motion (10 Feb 2009)

Jan O'Sullivan: With the permission of the House, I wish to share time with Deputies Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin and Seán Sherlock. The problem with this matter is one of trust. The Minister put forward a fine, spirited argument in this House about why what she was doing was what she felt to be right, but the whole system is predicated on services being in place in the Mid-Western Regional Hospital and in the...

Hospital Services: Motion (10 Feb 2009)

Jan O'Sullivan: While the Minister talks a very good talk, the reality of what happened in the north east is there for us to see. We must see that exactly the same is coming down the tracks for us in the mid-west if we take this on trust, particularly in the context of the financial situation. Last week a HSE west meeting was told that a further €10 million will be taken from the acute hospital budget in...

Hospital Services: Motion (10 Feb 2009)

Jan O'Sullivan: The Minister can bamboozle sectors of the commentariat and the 1% of the population who, unfortunately, vote for her party.

Hospital Services: Motion (10 Feb 2009)

Jan O'Sullivan: She talked about providing extra hospital beds through co-location, but not a single extra bed has been provided in that way.

The Minister and the HSE promised that specific actions to improve overcrowding in the...

Hospital Services: Motion (10 Feb 2009)

Jan O'Sullivan: It did not get them when they were promised. Again, we are offered more consultants but it is always in the future. However, they are not in place, so how are we supposed to believe the Minister? The crowd that turned out in Nenagh knew the issues very well. They know we need a major specialist centre. I have no problem with the Minister's plan and agree that people with severe trauma due...

Hospital Services: Motion (10 Feb 2009)

Jan O'Sullivan: Exactly. The Minister published it only because we were about to do so.
