Leaders' Questions (20 Oct 2009)

Enda Kenny: ...lost last year as a result of delayed discharges, which is the equivalent of Tallaght Hospital being closed down for a full year. That is what we have got. We know about the cancellation of the cervical cancer programme. When I checked the latest figures before I came to the Chamber, I learned that 315 people are on trolleys in hospitals around the country today. There are no trolleys...

National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed). (17 Sep 2009)

Enda Kenny: ...its members listen to the wrong people. Fianna Fáil is no longer the party of the ordinary people; it is the party of the establishment. It is easy to be brave when taking away €10 million for cervical cancer vaccination or medical cards from pensioners. However, when it comes to standing up against the elite and the vested interests it has caved in completely. This money is being...

Order of Business (5 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: ...would expedite permissions and get the work in train sooner? I suggest to him and to the Tánaiste, that they should take €10 million out of the saving of €300 million and allocate it to the cervical cancer screening programme which the Government withdrew last year in an insidious, insensitive and scandalous manner.

Leaders' Questions (12 Nov 2008)

Enda Kenny: ...of crime as a mark of respect for this much respected young man. However, I wish to mention a matter I raised last week with the Taoiseach and which is on today's Order Paper. I refer to the HPV cervical cancer vaccination programme for young girls. This programme was announced by the Minister for Health and Children last August. It involves a vaccination which has clearly been shown to...

Leaders' Questions (12 Nov 2008)

Enda Kenny: I repeat that this is an opportunity for the Taoiseach to achieve cross-party agreement on this issue. There is a vaccine that actually prevents cervical cancer. The Taoiseach's response has thrown aside the evidence in the HIQA report that at least 51 lives can be saved over the years ahead by use of this vaccination programme. It is not a question of one or the other. It is both — the...

Order of Business (11 Nov 2008)

Enda Kenny: ...first to various Departments. Does the Taoiseach envisage it will return in the spring for publication? In the Taoiseach's absence last week the House agreed to hold a 90-minute debate on the cervical cancer vaccination programme. As a result of the situation arising from the murder of Mr. Shane Geoghegan, will the Taoiseach set aside 90 minutes for a debate tomorrow to allow the...

Order of Business (6 Nov 2008)

Enda Kenny: ...% of persons over 70 years of age will lose their medical cards? Regarding the question asked by Deputy Jan O'Sullivan, the Minister for Health and Children announced the withdrawal of the proposed cervical cancer vaccination scheme for girls of 12 and 13 years of age. Given that the amount of money involved is so small, the Government is being short-sighted. Will it consider trying to...

Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2008)

Enda Kenny: ...epitomised that point exactly. Two reports were published, referred to by both Deputies Reilly and O'Dowd, which dealt with cancer services in the north east and the abolition of a programme for cervical cancer vaccination for girls between ten and 12 years old. It reminds me of the incident in Britain a number of years ago when a famous remark was made that "it was a good day to bury...

Leaders' Questions (27 Mar 2007)

Enda Kenny: ...Taoiseach accept that would be a vital and essential service? I note in his sprint on Saturday, the Taoiseach outlined, in breathtaking fashion, his proposal for free screening for breast cancer, cervical cancer and prostate cancer.

Leaders' Questions (6 Feb 2007)

Enda Kenny: ...and eight regional centres. Ten years on, the programme is not even half way towards completion. In 2001, the Government promised in the national health strategy that programmes for breast and cervical cancer screening would be extended nationally. Six years later, women, principally, are discriminated against in the provision of the service. More recently, a report on radiation...

Order of Business. (24 Feb 2005)

Enda Kenny: Arising from the statement issued by the Irish Cancer Society, 25 trades unions, doctors and women's organisations on the unavailability of a national screening programme for cervical cancer, the Tánaiste will be concerned that up to 934,000 eligible women have had to pay for opportunistic screening. Will that area be covered under any of the four health Bills that are mentioned in the...
