Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: If somebody in the situation Mr. McBrien described came into his service and they were already on a methadone prescriber programme but they had to get out and get their daily doses, whatever it might be, is there any co-operation between his department and the methadone dispensers? Does that work in tandem at all?

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: Dr. Kelly mentioned at the start he made on 13 recommendations to the citizens' assembly. Were they all accepted or were any barriers faced in getting some of them accepted?

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: Professor Comiskey said we should enable evidence-informed policy and nurse-led prescribing and she has research to support that. She said she wanted to expand on that research.

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: It is anecdotal.

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: I was not sure what the time was, but I am fine.

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Matt Shanahan: I thank the witnesses for attending. It is important to go back - the Cathaoirleach has signalled that this issue will probably be revisited - to try to understand what is the blockage to nurse prescribing. It happens in other areas of medicine, especially with the advanced clinical nurse practitioners. It is an obvious efficiency outcome and as the witnesses said, doctors may not be...

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Matt Shanahan: Would any other speaker like to take that on as well?

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Matt Shanahan: I want to ask both witnesses about monitoring. Dr. Kelly referenced a high level document he was not allowed to contribute to because the HSE was the lead agency evaluating all of this. What awareness do the witnesses have of the monitoring of their efficiency metrics in the system in order to understand where they are going in getting patients through the system, the waiting times and the...

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: I will not say what popped into my head. Just taking the piss.

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: Not once or twice weekly, however. There is no benefit there.

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: That was my experience. At some stage it was once weekly and if a doctor had concerns it was twice weekly. It was being used punitively.

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: I thank our witnesses for their opening statements. It was very interesting to listen to them. I am from Clondalkin and over the past few years, we have been lucky enough to have some very progressive community gardaĆ­, particularly with regard to people in the throes of addiction. They see these people as people and not as a burden on society. Once that relationship changed, we could...

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: That daily interaction with people, when done humanely, trickles back into the community, families and the organisations the people may be engaged with. Community policing, especially at that level, really works.

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: Are conversations taking place with members of the force in relation to potential changes in drug policy? For example, if we move from decriminalising the person but not the drug, how would that affect gardaĆ­ on a daily basis? What are their thoughts on that?

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Mark Ward: I am sorry to cut across Mr. Kelly. He referred to the organisational change the Garda has to make and there could be more organisational change if some of the recommendations are carried into legislation. Does the Garda get support on that? Does it get resources to implement that change or it is doing that out of existing resources?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Charities Regulatory Authority (17 Oct 2024)

John Brady: I welcome the witnesses and wish them a happy anniversary yesterday - ten years. I congratulate them on that. How many staff are employed with the Charities Regulator?
