- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (17 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: It is hard to ask a supplementary question when I do not have the substantive response to the question I asked. I take the Tánaiste's commitment to provide the precise figures. Here is what we do know from the Tánaiste's response. There are currently fewer than 7,500 members of our Defence Forces, 2,000 below the establishment figure and a whopping 4,000 below the two-figure...
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Mark Ward: I thank all the witnesses for coming in. I do not know if Dr. Kelly remembers me but I was in his class in 2012 in UCD. I tried to see if he was outside and I did not recognise him but I did when he came in to speak. It is good to see him again after the council on intervention skills in UCD back in 2012. That is neither here or there. My first question is to Mr. McBrien. He mentioned...
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Mark Ward: That makes no sense to me. The thing about common sense is that it is not very common but that is something we absolutely need to challenge. Has Mr. McBrien had any conversations with other nurse practitioners who are able to prescribe and do they share the same view as him? Do they see any challenges in prescribing opioid substitution therapy?
- 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)
Mark Ward: Did Dr. Kelly meet any barriers when speaking at the citizens' assembly? What was the feedback on the recommendations he put forward?
- 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.

Mark Ward: It is anecdotal.

- 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...

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...

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.

I congratulate Mr. Kelly on his promotion. I also welcome Detective Chief Superintendent Séamus Boland, who is with the national Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau. The witnesses are very...
