Jim Daly: I thank all Deputies for their contributions to the debate on this very important matter that has been raised in the Private Members' motion this evening. It is important when discussing this issue that we do not forget that the role of voluntary organisations play is an issue which extends beyond the health sector. My colleagues in the Department of Rural and Community Development lead on...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (17 Dec 2019)

This represents an increase of over €315 million, or 45%, since 2012. ...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (17 Dec 2019)
Jim Daly: The House and the Deputy will appreciate that two minutes will not give me an opportunity to answer his questions or address the range of issues outlined. There are 34 young people in the Carrigaline-Douglas area on the waiting list for psychiatry. That is what the HSE means when it could not justify taking on an additional psychiatrist in a full-time position. Instead, it is about the...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Medical Conditions (17 Dec 2019)
Jim Daly: I thank the Deputies for raising this important matter and bringing it to the attention of the House. I understand that it is within the scope of a general gynaecologist to diagnose and treat the majority of cases of endometriosis. Therefore, a GP referral to a gynaecologist is the standard pathway of care for the management of endometriosis in Ireland. This is similar to the pathway in...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Medical Conditions (17 Dec 2019)
Jim Daly: As I mentioned, by improving access to general gynaecology services, services for the majority of patients with endometriosis can be improved. The HSE's national women and infants health programme has developed a plan to refocus existing general gynaecology services towards an ambulatory model of care. This, it is anticipated, will not only improve capacity and reduce waiting times for such...

The National Carers' Strategy represents a...

The number of patients attending...

Jim Daly: As the Senator knows, I was in UHL last week. I acknowledge and commend the work of the team there, led by Professor Colette Cowan, and the community healthcare side as well. It is working with UHL on driving innovation in healthcare. That is an important aspect because it cannot always be about more beds and money.
