Home Ownership: Motion [Private Members] (31 May 2023)

Catherine Murphy: .... We are building an American car-dependent city, and we are doing so based on Government policy. It is a place where we have to keep on repeatedly building schools, where people cannot get on GP lists, and where there is a dearth of facilities. Our transport planning is based on what we would like to see rather than what is occurring. As I have said, we are building the perfect...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 May 2023)

Catherine Murphy: Given the age profile in Laois and Offaly, you can see that that will be a particular problem. The CHO areas are problematic from that point of view. For example, when it comes to GP services, we can measure them on the basis of CHO area, but you would not get on a GP's list for love nor money in my area. That has not been possible for the past year. There are people presenting in...

Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health
Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed) (2 Feb 2023)

Catherine Murphy: There are two other things I want to deal with. I will just mention one of them because I will not get to my second question if I get into a dialogue. On GP services, people contact me every day because they cannot get on a GP list. If they get a lung infection, a chest infection or something like that, they have to go to the accident and emergency department. We now hear that routinely....

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Jan 2023)

Catherine Murphy: The routine that I now hear of is that people cannot even get onto GP lists. In relation to the out-of-hours service, if someone is in Kildare who came from Dublin, he or she cannot get the Kildare out-of-hours service because his or her GP is not in the area. There is a problem generally. Is that an operational issue? Where would our remit come into it?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Jan 2023)

Catherine Murphy: ...about people who are going to retire. Primary care is where the future is, and we need to resource it. We cannot have people going to accident and emergency departments because they cannot get a GP. There are all sorts of other knock-on consequences. If we are to look at this, let us ask the HSE for a briefing in advance specifically on GP services, both out-of-hours and where there...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 May 2022)

Catherine Murphy: ...14,000 outpatient appointments will be cancelled each day as a result of the strike. Thousands of inpatient procedures, day-case elective procedures, maternity appointments and all the routine GP testing appointments will also have to be cancelled. The strike is completely disabling the health service. It just shows the importance of this particular profession. We must be clear that...

Sick Leave Bill 2022: Second Stage (7 Apr 2022)

Catherine Murphy: ...an eight-hour shift will earn €84 a day. Statutory sick pay at 70% will give them €58.80 before tax. To get a single day of sick pay, they will have to get a certificate of incapacity from their GP which will cost them €60. For a minimum wage worker, a single day of sick leave will actually cost them money. These workers will not go to the doctor. They will either...

Health and Criminal Justice (Covid-19) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021: Second Stage (3 Dec 2021)

Catherine Murphy: ...is a value in mask wearing, what it sets out to achieve, the time limit on its implementation and which people can be excluded from wearing masks. On the points that were made earlier, people are certainly telling me that the GPs are not providing letters. People are upset. Yesterday, I was contacted by a parent whose child has autism. They went to the GP to be sure there would not be...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (20 Jun 2019)

Catherine Murphy: ...any case, the person will not qualify for, say, invalidity pension unless the disability is going to be continuous for a period of not less than 12 months. While the consultant says that and the GP backs that up, the case can still be rejected. The Chairman has seen this himself.

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (5 Dec 2018)

Catherine Murphy: ...this healthcare procedure via the public health system as intended by the Bill. Indeed, when this issue was debated at committee we wanted to ensure that this would be part of the public system and be GP-led or provided in public hospitals. This amendment seeks to provide for that.

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) (4 Dec 2018)

Catherine Murphy: ...an attempt to rerun the referendum. I am trying to consider a situation where, say, a woman would go to a doctor and for some reason would have to go within days to another doctor who is not her GP and would be put through an inquisition. Part of the reason we decided on 12 weeks at the Joint Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution was because women were buying medication...

2016 Financial Statements of the State Claims Agency (Resumed)
2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (Resumed) (17 May 2018)

Catherine Murphy: ...who have engaged with the screening programme, which I still encourage women to do. The high grade detection rate of lab A was half that of two other laboratories. What lab is selected by a GP, for example, to send the smear test to? Is it on a geographic basis or a medical supervision one? What is the means of deciding on the lab?

Health (General Practitioner Service) Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 May 2014)

Catherine Murphy: ...under incredible pressure. The youngest child will qualify for a medical card but the person in the household who needs it most, who is six years old and has cerebral palsy, will not. It is not only GP visits that are at issue in this situation; it is access to occupational and speech therapy, repairs to the child's wheelchair and so on. The child is also PEG-fed. That is just one...

Health (General Practitioner Service) Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (28 May 2014)

Catherine Murphy: .... I look at the practical side of this. If one is going to deliver a measure such as this, one needs to do it in co-operation with those who will deliver the service. When we talk about free GP care, I look at some of the most basic care, such as that provided by the public health nurse to new infants in development checks. Some of these have been dispensed with, because there is...

Other Questions: Medical Card Eligibility (14 May 2014)

Catherine Murphy: ...reviewed less than a year later and is now on a very short extension. The same very extensive information is being sought as was provided previously. This is not just about the child going to a GP. The mother, who went public, stated the child has had a card since she was 13 months old. The child cannot swallow and is fed through a tube. The food delivered is covered by the medical...

White Paper on Universal Health Insurance: Statements (Resumed) (17 Apr 2014)

Catherine Murphy: ...struggling to get medical cards while also seeing the roll out of medical cards for children under six, which may or may not work. Ideally, I would like to see children under six being able to go to their GP for free. However, I spoke to the Minister previously about a man who is on dialysis who does not have a medical card, although he is making an argument for one. I know of a child...
