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)

David Stanton: I was not expecting to be first but I thank the Chair. I have another meeting at 10:30 a.m on the Traveller issues Mr. McCann referenced. I have met many of the witnesses previously. They have painted a bleak picture but they also put forward solutions, suggestions and proposals that should be taken on board, at this stage, by the next Government in a very strong way. The witnesses have...

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

David Stanton: If we are going to make a change, such as decriminalisation of the person, we need to have serious service supports in place. Other jurisdictions did this and went down this road but they did not have youth workers, social workers, psychologists or addiction services in place to help people. That has to be a very important part of this. Would Mr. Perth like to come in on the subject of...

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: I agree.

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

Louise O'Reilly: It would be overwhelmed.

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...

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: Several hundred.

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...

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

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?
