Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: Is it in CHO 9, the north Dublin area?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: I raised this in the past when we discussed this issue. I have skin in the game with respect to CHO 9 because it is an area I represent, but is also an area that provides a lot of the acute care in neuro-rehabilitation. What I would like to understand is the decision-making behind the phasing process. I expect that any area that does not have the kind of at-home, outpatient scheme that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: The issue for someone like me looking at how the recruitment pause has affected this, is that no funding has been given to an area that should have been higher on the list in the phased roll-out, not only because I represent the area, but because it has a particular set of acute services that are affected by that decision. The fear is that, with the recruitment pause, it will be a long...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: Does the HSE have a cut off for the recruitment pause? I apologise; I did not mean to cut across Mr. Gloster.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: No matter what the overrun or the ahead of profile number might be, is there is a hard cut-off point after which we cannot sustain a recruitment pause and we will stop? Has it ever been stated that on this month of this year we will have to pause the pause? Has that discussion been had or could we see an extended recruitment pause?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: Mr. Gloster described earlier how he will move to regional.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: Will those regional pauses be based on the regional health areas, hospital groups or something else?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: It will be the full primary care system.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: If the area in which the current CHO 9 sits was subject to a regional recruitment pause, could the phasing-in of the rehabilitation schemes be damaged or delayed? Is the answer "No" because we will hold on to developing programmes.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: Is it viable to add on new developments continually in the face of a recruitment pause across the rest of the sector? Will we see that in the system going forward? I can imagine workers in the HSE might question that if they are seeing gaps in staffing in other areas.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: On a related matter, Mr. Gloster referred to the overlap between health and disability in rehabilitation. In recent weeks, the committee has been looking at the regulation of home care. Something emerged in that discussion I definitely think we should flag. It relates to regulation and the complexity of the overlap between those two systems of the disability sector and health, which we see...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: I am delighted to hear that. I know I am over time. I will say to Mr. Canavan that we are still seeing legislation being brought before the committee that has not been checked against the UNCRPD.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Neurorehabilitation Healthcare, Primary Care Centre Programme and CAMHS: HSE (3 Jul 2024)

Committee on Drugs Use: Decriminalisation, Depenalisation, Diversion and Legalisation of Drugs: Discussion (27 Jun 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: I welcome our witnesses. I would like to stay on the issue of legislation and supply. My questions are for all three witnesses. I will be honest; the option of decriminalisation poses a worry for some people insofar as we would clear the decks and allow a supply chain to operate over which we have no control. What is the international evidence or what has been seen in different regions...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: General Scheme of the Health (Amendment) (Licensing of Professional Home Support Providers) Bill 2024: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jun 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: I welcome our guests. Am I right in thinking that sometimes, when there is an issue with home care support, a relationship breaks down or there is some kind of difficulty, their organisation supports its service users through that process?
