- 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...

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...

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?

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

Ciarán Cannon: Several hundred.

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?

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Comhghaideas leis an gCathaoirleach. I do not intend to dwell on this but I have one question about that high earner. Mr. Gloster used the word "abhorrent", with which I think most of us would agree. Are we going to face a similar scenario? He talked about the new consultant contracts and the employment of more consultants, which is the ultimate aim, but are legacy contracts in place such...

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Mr. Gloster is telling the committee he expects it to get better over time. Is that correct?

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: In the recent past, my family has been very glad to have access to consultants out of hours. I will touch on that. My father is 80 years of age. He still rides vintage motorcycles around the place, which is great for our collective family blood pressure. He gave us a bit of a scare recently. He came off the bike. We were in hospital with him. This goes back to Deputy Cannon's point...

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I will ask one more quick question and I will then move on to non-compliance. We are lucky with UHW. There are fights to be had about the provision of health services in Waterford. People will know well about the fight for 24-7 and the second cath lab. That has been well documented, but we are very lucky in that ours is one of the model 4 hospitals that does not have people on trolleys....

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I want to deal with non-compliant procurement in the short time remaining. We are talking about a spend of €4.2 billion. The HSE has put the estimate for non-compliant spending at 12%. We have difference there because, apparently, the exercise only covered 38% of the overall spend. Could Mr. Mulvany put a monetary value on it for me because I am making an assumption - it may be...
