Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Catherine Connolly: There is delivering within budget and making savings with reference to people who are vulnerable and deserve a service as of right and then there is any amount of money available for consultants, reports or rented buildings. I am not asking the officials to spend in a way that is open-ended. I shall ask my original question again. What role, if any, have the witnesses played in saying the...

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Catherine Connolly: Is this the best service for the public? I gave one example, but there are many others. I could pick many, but my time is limited. I want to make some general points. Is it a good service? Is it effective use of public money where people want to stay in their own home, which would be much cheaper, but cannot do so because they cannot get help?

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Catherine Connolly: Is having a cheaper system to fund the home help service or home care packages an effective use of public funds? We recently debated a Sinn Féin motion in the Dáil on home care costs. Does Mr. Reid accept that it is cheaper on the public purse to fund home care packages?

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Catherine Connolly: Some day I would like some to hear slightly different language. It is clear that we need an effective public health service. I will come back later to the consultants who are using public facilities, but we need a public health system that is efficient and effective. Within it, home care is the easiest example to pick. It is cheaper and more efficient to fund that service than to keep...

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Catherine Connolly: To use simpler language, funds should be directed towards the more effective services, home care being one. I would like to bring another matter home to Mr. Reid in Galway city. The committee has received correspondence from a consultant. It is unusual for consultants to go out on a limb, but this consultant has done so repeatedly. I will outline some figures which show that in the end...

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Catherine Connolly: Planning is not an issue in this instance. What is an issue is oversight of a decision-making process that is faulty. There is something seriously wrong, given that between 2017 and 2019 two theatres have remained out of action and consultants have had to engage with Deputies on the matter. I ask Mr. Breslin to reflect on it in terms of achieving value for money. What I take from this is...
