Court Proceedings (Delays) Bill 2023: Second Stage (24 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I thank the Minister of State for bringing the Bill before the Dáil. It is very important legislation which brings a legal remedy to the McFarlane v. Ireland case before the European Court of Human Rights, and puts us back in line, because we were in breach of Article 6 of the European Convention of Human Rights. Essentially, the legislation brings in a compensatory factor for people...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I welcome the panel. I listened to Mr. Gloster on the radio last week. He was very clear that was over the HSE and not University Hospital Limerick, UHL, but I think the presenter was quick to point out the fact that he is from Limerick. We have a lot of hope in the mid west that Mr. Gloster might understand the situation better than many in this country. I know his role is not specific...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: There has been some mixed reporting in recent days about the medical assessment units in Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's hospitals. We are all hoping that they will be upscaled to 24-7 capacity, thereby alleviating the huge pressure UHL is incessantly experiencing. Yet, there is mixed reporting on whether this upgrading is imminent. I would like to know, categorically, what the HSE's plans...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: That is welcome clarification. This week, the Limerick Postreported it was a done deal that the three hospitals we referenced at Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's are all moving to 24-7. That is approved, it is a done deal and is happening. Will Mr. Gloster clarify that? I heard what he said but, from what I can gather, it is under examination. It is operating on a seven-day, 12-hour a day...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: That is good. I will raise the issue of unused HSE buildings. I also raised this quite recently with the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly. I know of many facilities throughout the country. I put down a parliamentary question to ascertain what former nursing home accommodation was still available and not being used on various hospital campuses. There is not a huge amount of such...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I will squeeze in a final question. The HSE needs to be more agile with accommodation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: A young nurse would appreciate the HSE saying that it does not have immediate plans for it but might have plans in eight months' time. However, those are eight months where we could help somebody with accommodation. That is a very sensible way. Rather than having thistles growing up through the driveway, it would be great to see someone open it up.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Cathal Crowe: I have raised this matter with the Minister and Mr. Gloster. Hopefully, the HSE or the Department will be able to drill down a little deeper to see who has the keys and how we can do something with it. The local GP in Newmarket on Fergus has vacated his practice. There is always a risk with that the practice will be lost from the village itself. The HSE has been engaging very well with...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)
