- Written Answers — Mental Health Services: Mental Health Services (17 Jun 2009)
John Moloney: I propose to take Questions Nos. 101, 102 and 106 together. The HSE has prioritised the development of child and adolescent mental health services in 2009. At present there are 55 Child and Adolescent Mental Health teams in place throughout the country. An additional 8 consultant led child psychiatry teams to further support the provision of child and adolescent psychiatric services will be...

- Hospital Services. (16 Jun 2009)
John Moloney: At the outset I must apologise that the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Mary Harney, cannot be here this evening.
- Hospital Services. (16 Jun 2009)
John Moloney: She cannot be here this evening, and I am standing in for her by way of making a response. Hospital care for children is provided in Dublin at three hospitals, Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin, Temple Street Children's University Hospital; and the National Children's Hospital, Tallaght. Each hospital funded by the HSE is required to deliver services within the financial allocation...
- Hospital Services. (16 Jun 2009)
John Moloney: That is the commitment given and I accept and believe it. It has proven necessary for Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin to take measures to stay within budget. However, the hospital has confirmed that it is committed to delivering on the full level of its service plan commitments for 2009.
- Hospital Services. (16 Jun 2009)
John Moloney: The hospital is committed to that. I am not suggesting that the Government is covering up for decisions taken. I am making the point that the hospital has committed and confirmed that it can live up to its service plan for 2009. So far this year, Crumlin hospital has delivered more treatments to patients than for the same period last year. In the first four months of 2009 there were 3,704...
- Hospital Services. (16 Jun 2009)
John Moloney: I take account of the concerns the Deputies are reflecting on behalf of the families, and I want to respond as honestly as I can. I must come back to the point, however, that the hospital is committed to working within its service plan and I believe it will do so. Either way, the HSE is working closely with Our Lady's Children's Hospital to achieve an agreed programme of savings, totalling...
- Hospital Services. (16 Jun 2009)
John Moloney: I would not belittle that statement, as it is very important to be able to assure parents that talk of cutbacks are not relevant where it is a matter of life that is at stake.
- Hospital Services. (16 Jun 2009)
John Moloney: I accept that, but it is also important to nail down the specific commitment in that regard. The hospital's medical team continues to prioritise each patient on the basis of clinical need.
- Hospital Services. (16 Jun 2009)
John Moloney: I do not want to be adding to the response as prepared but it is fair to emphasise that the hospital has said it can remain within its service plan and deliver on the commitments in that. The hospital does not discuss - I take the points raised by Deputy White - individual patient cases due to confidentiality agreements with the patient and family. I understand that the family in the case...
- Sexual Abuse Inquiry. (16 Jun 2009)
John Moloney: Again, I apologise to Deputy O'Dowd that the Minister, Deputy Mary Harney, is not available this evening. In 1995, the Irish Medical Council instigated a fitness to practise inquiry but this was delayed pending the outcome of separate legal proceedings, including criminal and judicial review proceedings. Following a Supreme Court judgment in July 2008, the Medical Council recommenced an...
- Sexual Abuse Inquiry. (16 Jun 2009)
John Moloney: Instead the Minister believes that our focus should be on supporting those affected and ensuring that every possible protection is given to vulnerable people in the future. I have been informed by the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform that gardaà are continuing to investigate complaints relevant to this case, and the investigation has the assistance of members of the Garda...

John Moloney: The provision of rehabilitative training to persons with a disability who have reached 18 years of age is the responsibility of the Department of Health and Children and the Health Service Executive. With regard to the specific issue of availability of day places, the Department of Health and Children and the HSE are aware of the particular needs of school leavers in September 2009. The HSE,...

I will bring the issues raised by Senators Quinn and Bradford to the Minister's attention. I thank Senators for their contributions to this useful and informed debate.
