Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Relating to the Provision of Dentistry Services: Discussion (1 May 2024)

Seán Crowe: Do the witnesses believe there is additional capacity within the system? Reference was made to the site in Cork that was cancelled, as well as Trinity College and a number of other areas. If the subsidy was reconsidered in that regard, could that create additional capacity?

Select Committee on Health: Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee Stage (21 Mar 2024)

Seán Crowe: ...that there was an attempt to try to roll out increased services, particularly in the community. There was mention of Ballincollig and the fact that a lot of transport was coming up from Kerry and Cork in that regard. The issue is on the agenda. The Minister of State might wish to reply.

Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (31 Jan 2024)

Seán Crowe: ..., to address that issue any time soon? The issue of capacity within the hospital system was touched on by members. One of the proposals is the need for an additional allocation for hospitals. Cork and Galway were two of the hospitals referenced. I am trying to address some of the issues that have come up at the committee over the past 12 months. We asked for a note or an update on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)

Seán Crowe: It is Cork, so it has to be important. Is the Deputy finished? Yes. I just want to follow up on something that was mentioned and there are a couple of points I want to make. Mr. Hourihan mentioned that there have been no meaningful negotiations. In March 2021, I put a question to the Minister regarding the medical card scheme and, at the time, he said that he was in negotiations and was...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for the Treatment of Endometriosis: Endometriosis Association of Ireland (28 Jun 2023)

Seán Crowe: ...be a big element of it? It was mentioned that part of the campaign involves two supraregional centres. I think Tallaght and the Coombe are being talked about, reference was made to rolling out to Cork as well, and I think another area was mentioned, but is the EAI's idea that there should be one centralised centre? Is the EAI ruling out the idea of these supraregional centres? The big...

Seán Crowe: We need to move on from County Cork.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Health Service Executive: Engagement with Chief Executive Officer (22 Mar 2023)

Seán Crowe: These questions are probably more suitable for the other meeting we are going to have. The Deputy is going into detail in relation to the Cork area and Mr. Gloster may not have the detail or may have to backup staff with him today. The idea of today was to give an overall vision of how we see the job moving forward. I think it is a bit unfair for the Deputy to be looking for such detail,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Ambulance Services, Recruitment and Retention of Personnel, and Response Times: Discussion (22 Feb 2023)

Seán Crowe: ...people in the next eight years. We really need 600 or more people to come into the system every year. The system is not capable of taking that number. We heard that a new centre has opened in Cork, and there is a possible fifth centre. The system is crumbling despite all the efforts of the staff. I should have mentioned that fact that staff are being asked to work longer in many...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Electronic Health Records: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Seán Crowe: ...Deputy Colm Burke. At the outset I would like to convey sincere sympathies on behalf of the Joint Committee on Health to the family and friends of Mr. Matthew Healy who died in University Hospital Cork on Sunday. The committee is due to consider the issue of safety and the welfare of staff and patients in the health service on 8 February 2023. Before we get to the main item of today's...

Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination and Public Display) Bill 2022: Second Stage (24 Jan 2023)

Seán Crowe: ...them to where they need to be? That is the big question. Organ donation is an extremely time-sensitive matter. If an organ is donated in Sligo, could it be accepted, transported to Dublin or Cork, a recipient found and surgery performed in the time available? Time and infrastructure is key. The scarcity of ICU beds was laid bare during Covid and without significant investment we...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Vaginal Mesh Implants: Discussion (29 Jun 2022)

Seán Crowe: ...; Dr. Clíona Murphy, clinical director, national women and infants health programme; Mr. Robert Kidd, assistant national director, acute operations; and Dr. Suzanne O’Sullivan, urogynaecologist, Cork mesh centre. Dr. O'Sullivan is only available for the first half an hour of the meeting. If members have questions about mesh centres, they should indicate this to the clerk and...

Seán Crowe: We have a couple of seconds left. One of the Senators wants to ask a question about the centre in Cork.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Vaginal Mesh Implants: Discussion (29 Jun 2022)

Seán Crowe: Today we got a sense of the scale of the challenge, yet the figures on those who go to Cork and Dublin do not seem to reflect that. Women out there are suffering. In one of the opening statements we were told there were advertisements and so on and that 70 women came forward. I am surprised that more women are not coming forward. I do not know if that is down to a lack of confidence in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Vaginal Mesh Implants: Discussion (29 Jun 2022)

Seán Crowe: Women referred to difficulties with transport to clinics. The Cork clinic serves all of Munster. We also need to examine other issues, such as the length of time people are in a clinic. I am conscious that people may not be able to sit for a long period. There are other services and a bigger picture. Treatment does not just involve sitting down and seeing a clinician. Other supports...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Vaginal Mesh Implants: Discussion (29 Jun 2022)

Seán Crowe: Mr. Kidd might give us a written reply regarding what he mentioned earlier about gynaecologists from Britain who came over for a teaching day. It seems strange that it was just one day in Cork. He might give us the background to that. I appreciate the witnesses coming in and thank the group that came in previously. I thank everyone for their involvement in this comprehensive discussion...

Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Passport Services (28 Jun 2022)

Seán Crowe: ...Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if the list of professionals who may witness a passport application has changed; and the reason that an individual using the same day renewal service in the Cork Passport Office would have been refused on the grounds of a school teacher being the witness for the purpose of the application. [33761/22]

Rising Rental Costs: Motion [Private Members] (4 May 2022)

Seán Crowe: ...in to our offices, telling us they are facing eviction and asking whether we know of anywhere they can get. One of my colleagues referred to only two one-bedroom vacancies being available in his area, Cork. On Daft this morning, the number of properties available to rent in Dublin 24, which includes more than just Tallaght, where more than 100,000 people live, 16 properties were...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (27 Apr 2022)

Seán Crowe: The figures are stark. One in ten, as one of the members pointed out, means that 90% remain. There are four counties - Dublin, Cork, Galway and Wicklow - where there are some limited services but where there are challenges. There are challenges for GPs, particularly in rural areas and socioeconomically deprived areas. There are fewer opportunities for people in those areas as well. Has...
