Seán Crowe: I am conscious that assurances were given that there would be no cliff edge. Clearly that is what has happened. As a committee we will pursue the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform in regard to this matter. It is to be hoped we will get some answers.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)
Seán Crowe: No, you did not. The important point is that we asked the HSE for a report on the actions it is taking. They list different mechanisms and treatment to respond to aggressive behaviour to keep others safe. What is working and what is not? The list of actions they are taking is quite impressive. However, those actions are clearly not working. We need to follow up and find out from the...

Seán Crowe: I am conscious, as the health committee, that we hop every week from one crisis to another in reflecting what is happening within the service. When the new head of the HSE comes before the committee, he is going to outline his views about how things are going to move forward and I am sure many of the members will have questions. I call Senator Black.

Seán Crowe: I am conscious that in my area there would have been a challenge in relation to the bus service. We have a bus forum that involves the Luas too. It is good for all of the different parties to be involved, such as people from the community, politicians, the Garda, the unions and management and so on. It is something that works, but it also helps focus those in the area regarding assaults or...

We will also look at various other issues,...

Seán Crowe: I should have mentioned at the start how the system usually works. Normally, each individual who comes in gets ten minutes and it is questions and answers within that period. That is how it normally goes. However, some ask a number of questions together while others ask questions individually. Some even make statements and do not ask any questions.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Cancer Treatment Services: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)
Seán Crowe: In last week's session we touched on digitalisation and the lack of it within the health service. The witness is again highlighting the chronic need for us to move in that direction, not only to find out the real challenges we are facing but also because of the importance of digitalisation and information for future research. I call Deputy Gould, who is stepping in for Deputy Cullinane. He...
