Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: Mr. Gloster will see my questions coming from a mile away because I have asked them twice this week. When will the 96-bed block be opened? Through accident or misspeaking, as he said yesterday, I take Mr. Gloster at his word. I see it. I have been inside in UHL for more than a month. I have actually seen floors go up since I was in there. They are flying it and I accept that. What date...

Alan Kelly: Third, when will the MAUs move to providing a 24-hour service? Staffing is a huge issue but I am a huge supporter of public MAUs being opened across the network to help alleviate any issues. I am stuck for time and I have one more question so please answer my questions.

Alan Kelly: Will the CNU be opened at the same time?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: Is that handed back and opened?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: What about the MAUs?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: I agree. There will be public doctors and public nurses eventually. I know a private company has been brought in at the moment. The ambition is, in the near future, to be staffed fully by the HSE.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: Yes.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: I ask that because, as Mr. Gloster will know, it is contract staff rather than full-time staff. An issue jumped out at me from the report. How can one consultant be paid 24 hours pay for one hour's work? I know from looking at Mr. Gloster that he is as shocked as I am about this. A consultant was paid 24 hours pay and is paid nearly €1 million a year. The example being given is...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: Where is it? What is the name of the division? I do not want to know the person's name.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: I appreciate that.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: What is the region?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: Do many other consultants have the same contract?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: Jesus. I thank Mr. Gloster.

Verona Murphy: I congratulate the Cathaoirleach on being the first woman appointed to chair the Committee of Public Accounts.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: I thank both our Leas-Chathaoirleach and former Cathaoirleach for their inputs to the Committee on Public Accounts during my term. I thank the witnesses for their attendance. I will start with a quick question about capital infrastructure. What is the update on to the 97-bed block for Wexford General Hospital? Will Ms McGirr answer?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: I thank Ms McGirr. I do not know who is responsible with regard to the home care support services but I am very concerned about the volume of calls I am getting whereby those in receipt of the care and their home carers are being informed they are no longer allowed to feed those they are supporting. While this has been sent out in the form of an email with the guidelines set down in a HSE...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: I am particularly discussing someone who has a 22-year-old dependent child who is intellectually and physically disabled and unable to feed himself.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: That is fine.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: No, this has gone across.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: We have sent the information. We will re-send it. If it is that and there should be a reassessment, the HSE should not be writing to parents and putting the fear of God into them that this is no longer a part of the care that is provided because it is a very stressful environment already. I will take that up with Ms Broderick.
