Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (24 Oct 2024)

Pauline Tully: Will the Minister consider undertaking a stakeholder review of the progressing disability services model in light of the fact that it does not work on many fronts?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (24 Oct 2024)

Roderic O'Gorman: The implementation of the progressing disability services programme is agreed Government and HSE policy. This policy supports the reconfiguration of children's disability services to provide equitable child- and family-centred services based on need rather than diagnosis. Crucially, this aligns with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The HSE's roadmap for service...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (24 Oct 2024)

Pauline Tully: The progressing disabilities model is not working on many fronts. There were 91 CDNTs established before the end of 2021. According to the HSE census from a year ago, only one of those teams was fully staffed. A number were close but quite a number had vacancy rates up to 70%. A team cannot function with a vacancy rate of 70% or even 50% or 30%. Many children have no access to their...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (24 Oct 2024)

Roderic O'Gorman: I cannot disagree with anything the Deputy said in terms of the challenge the significant level of vacancy poses for the CDNTs all over the country and their ability to deliver crucial interventions for children and the subsequent improvements in quality of life for families. The next Government will look at the progressing disabilities model and have an opportunity to make decisions. We...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (24 Oct 2024)

Pauline Tully: We have been hearing about a recruitment campaign for quite some time. The progressing disability model was drawn up in 2013 or 2014, I think. At that time, workforce planning was not done and we now do not have sufficient therapists. I acknowledge it will take time to educate enough therapists but there is no guarantee they will work in disability services. There are many other areas...

Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)

Seán Crowe: The witnesses are all very welcome. I have dealt with many of them over the years in the context of some of the work they are doing. They led off this morning by speaking about the scale of the challenge we face. I think it was Mr. Collins who said that he has not seen the situation on the ground as bad as it is now. I think that is a common view. The witnesses sit on drugs task forces....

Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)

Seán Crowe: We were talking about the whole area of youth through the justice system and the lens of it. Again, it seems to be that if you are seen as a potential problem, the supports, the funding or group is there in relation to it, as Mr. Perth mentioned in his opening statement. We seem to pigeonhole young people who are a potential problem. All of a sudden, there is funding there in the justice...

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

Ciarán Cannon: I congratulate Deputy Farrell on assuming the role of Chair of the Committee of Public Accounts. I think she will be excellent, and I wish her every success. I thank our witnesses for joining us this morning for what I hope will be an enlightening and helpful discussion on how manage the significant resources that we invest in our health service on the part of our taxpayers. I also thank...

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

Ciarán Cannon: For those of us who are far from expert on how exactly it is intended to drive this innovation within the system, is there a unit within the HSE that oversees this process?

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

Ciarán Cannon: What sort of expertise exists within that unit?

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

Ciarán Cannon: Have the people who are leading that change in that unit of 700 people ever contemplated visiting places such as Denmark - maybe they already have - which is not dissimilar to us in terms of its demographics and population? Estonia is a very small, agile country that has been doing extraordinary things in the use of technology for how a citizen interacts with the state. Have we visited...

Ciarán Cannon: I know this is a difficult question, but in Mr. Gloster's estimation, how far away are we from having an actual workable EHR for every person in this country?
