Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Mortgage Lending (16 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I had the pleasure this week of attending the launch of the latest phase of affordable housing with the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Deputy Darragh O'Brien. It is great for any politician who attends such events to see the pleasure of any young families in being able to purchase their own homes. Unfortunately, however, many young families now have a level of...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Mortgage Lending (16 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the Minister for his reply. I understand the regulatory framework, but when my constituents, Derek and Sandra, attended my clinic last week and told me about their mortgage application, it was very difficult as a Member to explain to them why we have such a large stake in the ownership of many of these banks and yet they feel they are being treated unfairly. I accept the statement...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Mortgage Lending (16 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the Minister and I accept his bona fides in this matter. As well as the responsibility that we have, and as someone who purchased a home in 2008, I know all about the issues relating to protecting those people who may not have long-term financial security. We also, however, have to ensure that we have a functioning housing market and that we continue to allow people who can to...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening (17 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank both organisations for attending today. I hope to use some of the responses the witnesses will give in the sessions with the HSE later on. What level of engagement have the Irish Cancer Society and the IMO had with either the HSE or the Department since the pandemic in terms of the restoration, or as has been said, the improvement of services?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening (17 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: I was going to say "Ms Morrogh", but I am very familiar with her from my days on the rare disease task force so it seems quite strange to address her so formally. Perhaps Rachel would outline the feedback from the cancer support line on the impact on the mental health of patients who have already been diagnosed with cancer. Could she outline some of the experiences she has heard about,...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening (17 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: To expand on that point, I have been contacted by several people who have rare forms of cancer. They have found the lockdown period very difficult. However, as we emerge from lockdown there is so much uncertainty about how they can safely operate in society and the period for which this will continue is indeterminate. In many ways this is having a more severe impact on their mental health....

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening (17 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: The submission outlines the need for a clear communications campaign on the signs and symptoms of cancer and to encourage people to attend their healthcare professionals on that. Has there been any positive feedback from the HSE on that? Radio and television are full of advertisements on Covid-19. Has any of that pre-booked advertising been considered to target those who may be developing...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening (17 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: Based on what the Irish Cancer Society has been hearing on the cancer support line, what has been the experience for those patients undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy treatment who may have suppressed immune response?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening (17 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: The backlog was discussed earlier. Has the HSE discussed how that backlog may be addressed with either of the organisations? Will it address it purely through the public system, or will it seek short-term capacity from the private system?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening (17 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: To come back to the point, Dr. McCauley or Dr. Peadar Gilligan mentioned the issue of the flu vaccination. Obviously, in the fight against Covid, a comprehensive and more widespread flu vaccination programme will be needed. I wonder if both organisations, particularly the IMO but also in terms of cancer patients, might comment on what they would like that vaccination programme to look like...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening (17 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: Can we hear from the cancer society?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening (17 Jul 2020)

Paul McAuliffe: That point that vaccination saves lives needs to be underscored later on with the HSE as well. We have seen social media used positively, but during this pandemic we have also seen it used negatively in terms of misinformation. I support Ms Clyne's comments on the vaccinations. In terms of the other services the cancer society provides, fund-raising is a huge component, particularly in...
