- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Health Services (24 Apr 2024)
Colm Burke: Deputy Gould raised the issue of SouthDoc not doing its job. SouthDoc saw 220,000 patients last year. It has 19 vehicles available to call out to people as well, so there is a whole rota of people available to call out to patients. If a patient is deemed to be so unwell that he or she cannot travel to a centre then SouthDoc will arrange a visit. Patients are seen, on average, within four...

Peadar Tóibín: Education is the great leveller. Education should be an opportunity to give every child the ability to reach his or her potential. It is so important that, as a country, we make sure we have equality within the education system for pupils themselves and for parents. The information that I am getting back from a large number of schools at the moment is that there is a crisis first of all in...

Hildegarde Naughton: I thank the Deputy for raising this issue and giving me the opportunity to set out the importance of the special education teacher allocation in supporting children with special educational needs in mainstream schools. At the outset, it is very important to state that there will be more special education teachers in our schools in September 2024 than ever before - an increase of 1,000...

Thomas Gould: Good morning. I want to start by laying out the background to the issue relating to SouthDoc in Blackpool. As my constituency colleague, the Minister of State must be well aware of this matter. In 2020, the close of SouthDoc in Blackpool was announced on foot of the Covid-19 crisis. At the time, I raised concerns. Those concerns proved to be well founded when SouthDoc clearly stated that...

I am dealing with this matter on behalf of the Minister for Health, Deputy Donnelly. The Minister fully understands that the Deputy is acting out of a genuine concern, his own and that of his constituents, regarding the ongoing...

Thomas Gould: I do not want to be disrespectful, but if the Minister for Health does not understand what is happening in the HSE in the context of SouthDoc in Blackpool, that is shocking. Some €7 million was paid to SouthDoc to provide an out-of-hours service, which it is not doing. If the Minister of State looks at my Facebook page, he will see the number of constituents by whom I have...
