- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: That is fine.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: No, this has gone across.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: We have sent the information. We will re-send it. If it is that and there should be a reassessment, the HSE should not be writing to parents and putting the fear of God into them that this is no longer a part of the care that is provided because it is a very stressful environment already. I will take that up with Ms Broderick.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: I know that and I appreciate that but it is very concerning and upsetting. My other question might also be for Ms McGirr. Will she give an update on a medical centre for New Ross, County Wexford? The latest proposal was turned down as it was no longer viable, apparently. Can I have an update on that please? I have a question for Mr. Mulvany. How much does it cost to keep a public...

Verona Murphy: A standard fee with no machines.

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: If a 15-year-old was in a bed for 91 days with acute anorexia in a public hospital with no specialty department, would it raise a red flag for anybody? Would a question be asked either clinically or administratively?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: The last time Mr. Mulvany appeared before the committee I put it to him that there had been a young girl with anorexia in University Hospital Waterford for 30 days. I was incorrect. I am stating on the record that it was actually 91 days. There was no clinical intervention that she should be moved until I got involved, and there was no administrative intervention to ask why she was there....

Rose Conway-Walsh: 5. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth to provide an update on children’s disability network teams in Mayo, including staff vacancies, recruitment and waiting lists for assessment and therapy; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43583/24]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (24 Oct 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: Too many children are waiting for therapies and assessment in County Mayo. I am trying to get a grasp on the staff vacancies in the children's disability network teams, CDNTs, and the waiting lists for assessment and therapy in County Mayo.

Roderic O'Gorman: I thank Deputy Conway-Walsh for raising this question. I acknowledge the challenges faced by children and young people in terms of accessing services, particularly essential therapy services, in Mayo. The lead agencies there are experiencing ongoing challenges in recruiting across a range of disciplines and grades to fully staff the CDNTs. Recruitment is ongoing for administrative and...

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Minister. The reality is that there are still too many vacancies. I take what the Minister is saying in terms of trying to attract staff. However, continually having vacant posts puts pressure on the workers who are there already. Last week, I was at a wonderful initiative with Mayo Autism Camp and Manulla FC. There were many parents and children there. Although the day was...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (24 Oct 2024)
Roderic O'Gorman: I fully agree with the Deputy on the challenges of recruitment. It is the big challenge in disabilities services right now. The core solution to that is to train more health and social care professionals, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, physiotherapists and psychiatrists. We need more of them because the level of demand and need has increased, both because of...

Rose Conway-Walsh: That is part of the problem. Fine Gael has been in Government for the past 13 or 14 years and now we are looking to address these situations. The workforce planning should have been in place well before now. It is not a big surprise that there is such a high number of children with disabilities in need of support. I would say that this Government has failed children with disabilities and...

Roderic O'Gorman: I thank Deputy Conway-Walsh for her passionate advocacy on behalf of that child and his family. What I have done as Minister is to recognise that for so long disability was the poor relation within the Department of Health. We have taken it out of the Department of Health and brought it into my Department. That applied from March 2023, more than 18 months ago. There is so much more...

Claire Kerrane: 7. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth to provide an update on the publication of the early childhood care and education review; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43559/24]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Early Childhood Care and Education (24 Oct 2024)
Claire Kerrane: I wish to ask the Minister about the publication of the review of the early childhood care and education, ECCE, scheme. I believe it has been published and I welcome that. Will the Minister give us some detail on his response to that review? I understand it was completed in April. Why did it take so long to publish it? It is something for which the sector has been asking for quite some time.
