Catherine Murphy: Is Mr. Gloster telling me that there are different numbers January, March and July? Is it generally 8% for the year?

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

Catherine Murphy: Mr. Gloster is talking about that being 8% over a year.

Catherine Murphy: In the short time I have left, I will focus on one matter. We make recommendations to the HSE when we compile a report. One of those recommendations was that the reports from internal audits be published on the executive's website. Will the HSE be doing that? Does it see the internal audits and the reports from audits relating to the more than 60% of other publicly funded health agencies?

James O'Connor: I wish the Cathaoirleach well in her new role. I mark the fact she is the first female to serve in her position. I also thank Deputy Catherine Murphy for her work recently and throughout the term as Leas-Chathaoirleach. Returning to the capital development side of things, I wish to ask another question. In the context of land relinquished during 2023 – this is a specific question...

James O'Connor: It is interesting Mr. Gloster says that because I have one situation I wish to raise with him. I was trying to get a conversation without prejudice between a local GAA club and a facility where the HSE owned the ground but there was that instance where the field was used for GAA purposes. I was wondering about the mechanisms around that.

James O'Connor: Mr. Gloster might just check that out with St. Raphael’s because I have requested that previously but I just want to get the ball rolling.

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

James O'Connor: Yes. It is a huge site. There are vast lands with it. I refer to the feasibility study on the ambulance training unit going into the old building in St. Raphael's. It is a beautiful building. It is almost like one of the old buildings you see in Trinity College but it has been left derelict and vacant for some time. It is sealed and contained. It is not as run down as some other...

James O'Connor: My ultimate message is that the HSE should please drive on with that. For the first time in 30 years, there is something happening in Youghal because of the State action. The town had lost 4,000 jobs in manufacturing and was utterly abandoned for years.

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

James O'Connor: That is good to hear. The primary care centre is moving along. I also ask about the chronic pain management suites the HSE is working on. Dr. Henry might know a little more about this but it is looking at locating some of them in primary care facilities around the country. I have another question about small injury units and to see what is involved in locating those within the new primary...

Mairead Farrell: As briefly as possible, due to time issues.

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

James O'Connor: Both.

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

James O'Connor: Correct, in primary care settings. I think they have done this in Dungarvan, County Waterford, with success. I want to see if it will be possible-----

Mairead Farrell: I just want to be fair to Teachta Murphy.

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

Mairead Farrell: Is that okay?

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

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

Verona Murphy: The Cornmarket project in County Wexford is a support service for individuals with a history of addictions. A co-ordinator in the services has contacted me to say that the HSE is set to slash 26 front-line positions in social inclusion services at the end of this year. Twelve of those positions are specific to addiction-related services, and at a time when the demand for services is...

Verona Murphy: So Mr. Gloster is not aware of the intention to cut 12 positions within the services.

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

Verona Murphy: I would say it makes no sense at all given that every rural community in this country is facing an existential crisis with drugs. It is no longer the pastime of those who should be avoided. It is every village and community, and every young person I am acquainted with can tell me of friends or themselves being accosted and how it is being used in different environments. Now, this is not...

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