Chapter 3 - Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (23 Jun 2022)

Colm Burke: ...being raised. My first question relates to the "RTÉ Investigates" programme on 23 March 2022. I will quote two examples they gave about the lack of accountability. The first example was Cavan County Council in 2017 and an allegation of fake invoices. An investigation was initiated but there has been no publication of the results of that investigation. The second example goes back...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Medical Council Specialist Register: Discussion (2 May 2018)

Colm Burke: Many of the 127 not on the specialist register are in the small hospitals such as Cavan, Letterkenny, Portlaoise and Tullamore. Would it be true to say that the risk will always be higher in a small hospital because in a big hospital a doctor might be on a one in six or seven rota, working every day, one night in seven and one weekend in seven, whereas in the small hospitals they are likely...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal (12 Oct 2017)

Colm Burke: ...in prior to suffering the assault. This person suffered brain injury and it has been five years since the perpetrator was sentenced. There are a number of judicial review cases and I cited one in Cavan where the person was waiting 13 years. This has to be dealt with somehow. We say we are on the side of victims of crime but we are not, and this delay is not justified. If all the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: HIQA Investigation into Midland Regional Hospital, Portlaoise (Resumed): Health Service Executive (19 May 2015)

Colm Burke: ..., Portlaoise would work together, yet it took a number of years before that happened. As we have touched on the recommendations in respect of the hospitals in Galway, Ballinasloe, Portlaoise, Cavan, are there recommendations that were made six, seven or eight years ago in respect of other units around the country, that have not been implemented? When are they likely to be implemented?...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Health Issues: Department of Health and Health Service Executive (14 May 2015)

Colm Burke: I raise it because of all the coverage of Galway, Ballinasloe, Portlaoise and Cavan. It would be helpful if people had access to information that is reasonably positive about most units throughout the country. This is a problem about which patients and staff are concerned. The coverage is very negative, although there is some positive information from the units.

Colm Burke: ...teachers to deal with the increased number of pupils, but we seem to have accepted this position in the case of hospitals, especially maternity care services. We have a further report this morning on Cavan hospital on access to a theatre.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Pay and Conditions of Non-Consultant Hospital Doctors: Discussion (5 Mar 2013)

Colm Burke: ...hospitals make the decisions but the CVs are sent to them before they can make a choice about where to recruit. They are confined in what they can do in this area. I outlined the example of Cavan, which has three vacancies for registrars. The smaller hospitals are not necessarily being given a choice in the CVs that are sent to them and standards have slipped as a result. Where...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Pay and Conditions of Non-Consultant Hospital Doctors: Discussion (5 Mar 2013)

Colm Burke: ...centralised recruitment is great in theory, has there been consultation with the smaller hospitals to try to surmount the difficulties they must deal with the present? In obstetrics and gynaecology in Cavan, there are five registrar posts but only two are filled. Consequently, there are three vacancies. There is a problem in Limerick with regard to filling vacancies, and Tralee also...
