Alan Kelly: Yes.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Alan Kelly: I ask that because, as Mr. Gloster will know, it is contract staff rather than full-time staff. An issue jumped out at me from the report. How can one consultant be paid 24 hours pay for one hour's work? I know from looking at Mr. Gloster that he is as shocked as I am about this. A consultant was paid 24 hours pay and is paid nearly €1 million a year. The example being given is...

Alan Kelly: Do many other consultants have the same contract?

Alan Kelly: Jesus. I thank Mr. Gloster.

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...

James O'Connor: Regarding the other campuses that have been put in place, Ms Broderick has responsibility in this area, specifically the training colleges-----

James O'Connor: How many employees are based in them? What scale is the facility in Ballinasloe? How many people are teaching there? How is it managed?

James O'Connor: We are 12 months on from Storm Babet, which took place in 2023. Enormous damage was done to Midleton. I was talking about this with the Office of Public Works earlier in the week. Midleton hospital experienced devastating flooding. The Owenacurra Centre there, which has been much-discussed over the current Dáil term, was damaged too. I want to get insight on where the HSE is with...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
James O'Connor: I would like to get correspondence from the HSE on that this week, if possible, to get a live update on where we are. There is concern locally about the pace of development. It feeds back into a wider issue with any capital development in the HSE, which is the length of time it takes.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
James O'Connor: I ask for a progression timeline too.

Verona Murphy: I congratulate the Cathaoirleach on being the first woman appointed to chair the Committee of Public Accounts.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: I thank both our Leas-Chathaoirleach and former Cathaoirleach for their inputs to the Committee on Public Accounts during my term. I thank the witnesses for their attendance. I will start with a quick question about capital infrastructure. What is the update on to the 97-bed block for Wexford General Hospital? Will Ms McGirr answer?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: I thank Ms McGirr. I do not know who is responsible with regard to the home care support services but I am very concerned about the volume of calls I am getting whereby those in receipt of the care and their home carers are being informed they are no longer allowed to feed those they are supporting. While this has been sent out in the form of an email with the guidelines set down in a HSE...

Verona Murphy: I am particularly discussing someone who has a 22-year-old dependent child who is intellectually and physically disabled and unable to feed himself.
