Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2025)

Marie Sherlock: I hope the Minister and I can agree we need more GP care in this country and, in particular, in Dublin's north inner city in the constituency we are both elected to represent. My question to the Minister today is what he is going to do as Minister for Finance to stave off the closure of the GP Care For All practice in Summerhill in Dublin 1. As he and I know, this GP care practice is run by...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2025)

Marie Sherlock: I thank the Minister. There is obviously goodwill on all our parts towards the practice but what I am not hearing today is a sense of urgency with regard to this situation. The chair and the practice manager are in the Public Gallery and they are waiting to hear answers from the Minister. The reality is that the 2,600 patients in the practice include some of the most vulnerable people in...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Eating Disorders (6 Mar 2025)

Marie Sherlock: My question relates to the 2018 commitment regarding inpatient beds for those with an eating disorder. It is important to say there was a significant amount of hurt at some of the previous comments made by the Minister of State about the need for these beds. We met some of those suffering from eating disorders last week. The reality is that while we very much welcome an expansion of...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Eating Disorders (6 Mar 2025)

Marie Sherlock: I look forward to that response from the Minister of State concerning the adult beds. What I am hearing from the initial contribution of the Minister of State is that there is no intention to make good that commitment from 2018 regarding the 20 adult beds. The reality is that it is a very complex psychiatric condition. When we look at the data from the Health Research Board, it can be seen...

Marie Sherlock: When are we going to see that review? We have been waiting for these beds. They were promised quite a number of years ago now, but we have not seen them. It is good that there is a review, but we need urgency on it. The reality is there are too many people in this situation. It is simply unacceptable that the State is spending money on sending people suffering with this condition abroad....

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: General Practitioner Services (6 Mar 2025)

Marie Sherlock: I wish to put on record that three options were offered to GP Care For All, none of which are operable. Option one was the partnership model, which is simply not viable because of the risk GPs would have to take on. Almost 97% or 98% of this practice is GMS-reliant. The second option, which was the hybrid model, and the third option, which was direct subsidy, were not acceptable to the...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: General Practitioner Services (6 Mar 2025)

Marie Sherlock: I do not doubt the goodwill there is regarding ensuring GP services, particularly to the 2,600 people on the list in GP Care For All, continue but the reality is that the HSE funding is only for the 2024 liabilities, nothing is in place for 2025 liabilities and I am not hearing any solution. We have a private system of GP care in this country with the result that we have significant gaps...

Marie Sherlock: Last week, I raised with the Minister the issue of the GP Care For All practice in Summerhill, Dublin 1.
