Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) John Brady: Another area I want to touch on is the dental treatment service scheme, DTSS, and the complete collapse, it has to be said, of that service over the past five years. Has the HSE concerns about the collapse within that service and the implications for medical card holders?

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) John Brady: I am not sure if Mr. Gloster has the figures to hand. I know that in 2017 there were 1,660 dentists participating in that scheme. Do the witnesses have the current figure?

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) John Brady: To be helpful, the latest parliamentary question reply I received has a figure of 1,052 in March of this year, so it is more than a 30% decline nationally in dentists participating. If we drill down into those figures, obviously, there are areas that are proportionately much higher in terms of the impact. If we look at my own constituency, which is covered by LHO 7, there is a 70% reduction...

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) John Brady: I have some questions for the Department representatives. This is not a crisis that has developed overnight. There is a timeline over the past five years where there has been a downward spiral of dentists participating in the scheme. What actions are being taken by the Department to address this major crisis, which is impacting so many people in terms of access to dental services?

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) John Brady: Is there an ongoing process of engagement with representative organisations for dentists to try to address their major concerns around the scheme? Those concerns date back to the early 1990s, when this scheme was put in place.

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) John Brady: When can medical card holders, who rely on this scheme, expect to see a service in place so they do not have to travel from one end of the constituency to the other or into neighbouring counties to find a dentist who is participating in the scheme? When will people start seeing a tangible benefit in terms of accessing a dentist participating in this scheme?

- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: General Scheme of the Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2023: Discussion (9 May 2023)
John Brady: The proposed Bill is important legislation and represents a significant attempt to upgrade the existing Child Care Act 1991. I acknowledge that and welcome many aspects of it. I will pick up on a point made by Dr. McAuley in her opening statement. She stated: “Overall, however, the general scheme appears to us to be lacking in sufficient vision and ambition.” I ask her to...

- Public Accounts Committee: An Bord Pleanála - Financial Statements 2021 (27 Apr 2023)
John Brady: Ms Buckley and her fellow witnesses are very welcome to this morning's meeting on what is a really important issue. It is not just about accountability, but also about rebuilding the reputation of the board. As Ms Buckley has said, very serious reputational damage has been done and restoring that public confidence and the board's reputation will be a colossal task. I wish her all the best...
