Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (31 Jan 2024) Seán Crowe: Can you give us a sense as to what the reluctance of GPs is in this regard? A lot of this comes down to appetite suppressants that are needed, so there is a medical response to it as well. The professor we met in Derry said they were looking down the road at a particular hormone that might potentially trigger appetite and so on. There is a lot of very positive work going on, but he was at...
- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (31 Jan 2024) Seán Crowe: I am conscious that it is ten years since many of these people got an increase. It must be an impossible task. They are constantly being recruited by the health service, particularly those involved in community care and in the drugs area. These staff are being headhunted all the time, which is having an impact locally in many areas. Again, I appeal to whoever is involved in negotiations...

Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (31 Jan 2024) Seán Crowe: For what it is worth, the committee went out and had a look at the site in December. We went to areas we had seen before. I am a layperson but there is no way, under anyone's timetable, that the hospital will be finished by September. I would put my life on it that it will not happen.

Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (31 Jan 2024) Seán Crowe: There is a huge amount of work. There is no way it will be finished by September. That is my personal view. I follow through on what my colleague said, that it would be useful for the Minister to follow up with the board and perhaps have a look himself at what still needs to be done. A huge amount still needs to be done.

- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (31 Jan 2024) Seán Crowe: I thank the Minister. I will make a comment before we conclude. The upsetting thing about the waiting lists is that in many of these areas, if someone has money, they can access services. Unfortunately, poor people or those who do not have access to spare cash are being left behind, whether it is in the context of dental care, accessing a doctor or paying for the basic things that are...
