- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses. I am substituting for my colleague an Teachta Thomas Gould. My first question, and this will probably will not surprise Mr. Perth, is for Connect 4. I was able to watch a bit on screen but also read the submissions. I was struck when the perception of self-sabotage of the area was spoken about. Perhaps Mr. Perth could talk about how young people's perception of...
- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: I thank Mr. Perth for that. For the broader witnesses, my understanding is that the committee has agreed that public consumption of drugs cannot be allowed to increase, as we have heard from other jurisdictions that this has huge impacts when they decriminalise drugs. How can we control public consumption without further stigmatising the people the witnesses are working with? How can those...

- Committee on Drugs Use: Family and Community: Discussion (24 Oct 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: Specifically regarding public consumption and the way that can be managed, my understanding is the committee had agreed that an increase in public consumption should not necessarily be a by-product. How can that be done without further stigmatisation, however? We spoke about stigma and trauma. How can that be done without heaping further stigma on communities that do not need it and cannot...
- 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...

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?

James O'Connor: I thank the witnesses for attending. There are many different areas that we could focus on. One of the things that really jumps out at me is the climb in expenditure from 2019 to 2023. Obviously, that is taking Covid into account but it seems the expenditure has not dropped back. To give context to my comments, we are looking at the figures coming from south of €20 billion, at...

James O'Connor: I refer to north Cork since this came up so much during the local elections. People cannot get in the door to see GPs in Mitchelstown and Fermoy. This is replicated in other parts of the country. I am not even going near the SouthDoc issue but it is extraordinarily worrying that even when people require a consultation with a doctor in an emergency or a call-out to a home that the service...
