- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (5 Mar 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: I am also very familiar with the work of Debra Ireland. The HTA process is not just protracted, as Deputy O'Sullivan points out. In 2011, I authored the Irish Platform for Patients Organisations report, which referred to a black hole in decision-making at the end of the process. We have to find a way of striking a balance between value for the taxpayer, which we should pursue without...

Richard Boyd Barrett: An often undervalued and ignored group of workers in our health service are the housekeepers and cleaners without whom our hospitals would not be able to function. As we learned during the pandemic, the need for infection control means that this is a job whereby people have to have many skills, a great deal of training, etc., in order to get things right. I raised this matter with the...

Paul Murphy: I want to ask about a pretty pressing issue for underfunded community drugs projects, namely, the extortionate cost of insurance. I will give a couple of examples from Tallaght to show just what an impact this is having. One project was paying €2,500 six years ago for insurance. That increased to just over €6,000 three years ago. For 2023, the insurance company wanted...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: I brought up an issue that was brought to me by Alison McCabe and was also raised on "Liveline", that of post-mastectomy products for women who have been through breast cancer and mastectomy. There was a plan involving reducing the funding for the scheme. I brought the decision in that regard to the attention of the Taoiseach and the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, and it was reversed,...

Mick Barry: I want to ask about Government and State neglect of the health needs of people with eating disorders. This issue was highlighted on Saturday, with protests taking place in Cork, Limerick and Dublin. Despite the fact that the HSE identifies eating disorders as resulting in the highest morbidity and mortality within the mental health sector, there are only three beds for adults with eating...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I would like to speak about the children's disability network teams, CDNTs, in Carlow. The biggest issue I have had for the past few months is the lack of occupational therapists and speech and language therapists. For children who are on the waiting list, there is no one to assess them. Children who should be going into classrooms in September do not have school places because they have...

Leo Varadkar: I am conscious that quite a number of Deputies raised CAMHS and also CDNTs. I do not information broken down to local or county level. CAMHS receives dedicated funding of approximately €146 million annually, and €110 million of that has been provided to community-based mental health organisations and NGOs this year. A further €10 million was announced in January for...

Leo Varadkar: I propose to take Questions Nos. 16 to 21, inclusive, together. The Cabinet committee on health last met on 12 February 2024 and is due to meet again shortly. Déanann an coiste comh-aireachta ar shláinte maoirseacht ar ghealltanais i gclár an Rialtais a bhaineann le sláinte agus faigheann sé tuarascálacha mionsonraithe ar réimsí beartais aitheanta....

Alan Dillon: I want to raise my concerns in relation to children’s disability network team, CDNT, services in County Mayo. Parents of children with disabilities are in a constant fight to access services, often resorting to private care, which is sometimes oversubscribed to avoid long waiting lists in the public system. The waiting lists continue to grow in Mayo at a pace with which the HSE...

Pádraig O'Sullivan: It will be of no surprise to the Taoiseach that I will raise the issue of rare diseases again this week. Let us bear in mind that Rare Disease Day was last week. I would like to raise the issue of the Mazars report, which is due to be published shortly. We have spoken about it before and I welcome its publication, but the reality is that the report will not meaningfully reduce the times...
