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

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: If I map those trends onto the €4.2 billion, we could be talking about a sum of the order of €500 million.

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

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: The number, which is staggering, troubles me. Something that worries me more is that one of the reasons we get back for not having that information, on the one hand, is the manager responsible for the expenditure could not be identified centrally. That would very much worry me. Then the flip side is that the identified managers failed to respond to the exercise. When they were asked about...

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

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: If I can focus the question specifically, if a local or regional manager does not engage with Mr. Mulvany when he asks the question about non-compliant procurement, is there a sanction that follows?

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

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: In the context of those two things - the manager responsible could not be identified which would be on the HSE versus the person did not respond - can Mr. Mulvany provide an indication of where the balance lies?

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

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Not tolerating something and not pursuing it are quite different from having a series of sanctions that apply.

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

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Has that happened in any instances?

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

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...

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

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-----

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

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?

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

James O'Connor: Yes.

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

James O'Connor: I ask Mr. Gloster to get that information if possible.

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

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.

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.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (24 Oct 2024)

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...
