Hospital Services. (21 Nov 2007)

James Reilly: Question 45: To ask the Minister for Health and Children the action she took to address the concerns raised in a letter she personally received from a consultant in Portlaoise in 2005 expressing their concerns regarding the quality and reliability of services in the radiology department in Portlaoise General Hospital; if she will assure Dáil Éireann that no further such letters lie...

Hospital Services. (21 Nov 2007)

James Reilly: The Minister's answer ignores the issue raised in the letter, namely, that the radiology service was a shambles. If she can honestly describe the manner in which that letter and the issues it raised were dealt with as the best way to do so, it is not terribly reassuring to this House and the people who must use the health service. Can the Minister confirm that this letter was brought to her...

Hospital Services. (21 Nov 2007)

James Reilly: Does she expect all medics who are concerned about the quality and reliability of machinery to walk away from the job and their patients, as she suggested in her response in the Dáil where she said that if the machine was so faulty, why did the radiologists continue to use it? The reality is that faced with the machine with which they must deliver the service, people deliver the service...

James Reilly: I will be as brief as possible.

Vaccination Programme. (21 Nov 2007)

James Reilly: I wish to refer, first, to the costings relating to the vaccine and Dr. Connolly's concerns regarding our ability to deliver a vaccination programme should the Minister decide to proceed with it. What will be the costings for the roll-out of cervical screening programmes? I spoke to the Minister six weeks ago about this matter in the House when I stated it was unlikely that she could...

Vaccination Programme. (21 Nov 2007)

James Reilly: Is there a budget in place in respect of the roll-out of a cervical screening programme? Is the Minister in a position to guarantee the House that it will be rolled out by March next year? In light of the cutbacks taking place, is there any real credibility to her claim that she will roll it out? A large advertisement appeared in the Sunday Independent last weekend in which company...

Care of the Elderly. (21 Nov 2007)

James Reilly: We are all aware that there is going to be a major problem with regard to the funding of nursing homes. My difficulty with what I have seen so far of the Bill is that it refers to drawing down other resources before the family home is touched. How will this apply in the case of small businesses and farms? Will people be obliged to sell their businesses and use up all their assets before...

Care of the Elderly. (21 Nov 2007)

James Reilly: In conjunction with this, I hope we have similar investment in community initiatives to keep people at home. Nobody likes to go into a nursing home because it means a loss of independence. The HSE has been inspecting nursing homes for some time. However, we have not been reassured by what is happening. The HSE inspecting its own homes is not proper.

Food Labelling. (21 Nov 2007)

James Reilly: In regard to meat, what is the point of imposing standards on Irish farmers for places of origin and antibiotics when imported Brazilian beef is not subject to the same stringent requirements? We do not know where it comes from, other than a large continental area called Brazil, nor do we know the conditions in which the cattle were reared.
