- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Maurice Quinlivan: I thank Mr. McBrien for that. I agree with Dr. Kelly's issue regarding pay tenure, career progression, workload in the profession and other workers in addiction services and some of the remuneration and perks. It is not necessarily the case for nursing but some of the people working in that sector have not had a pay rise for a number of years, ten or 11 years in some cases. As I said, I am...

Maurice Quinlivan: Will Dr. Kelly briefly explain how he sees independent oversight working? He also referenced that in his opening statement.

Maurice Quinlivan: Professor Comiskey addressed stigma and how we deal with it. What are the easy wins on that front?
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: I welcome our witnesses. I want to touch on stigma but before that I will go back to nurse prescribing. A lot of the discussion we are having today reminds me of when I followed the nurse prescribing journey in diabetes. It reminds me of that a lot, in that it is a lifestyle-based treatment and is very much about who you meet when you go into a clinic. At the front line that is often...

Neasa Hourigan: I presume we should have non-elective modules within training for all medical professionals. Would that be specifically on addiction or would it be more useful for it be about what trauma-centred care looks like?
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: Would the other witnesses like to come in on addiction versus trauma led?
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: The research suggests that when you are on the front line, those attitudes become more prevalent.
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: That would take care of all of our new cohort. There are hundreds of thousands of people working in services that are central or tangential to our health service. How do we hit all of them? Do we need to get everybody into a continuing professional development course on addiction and trauma-like care?

Neasa Hourigan: How far along are we on that journey?

Neasa Hourigan: Working in an emergency department is different from working in a laboratory.
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: I will return to the question of the inspection of services. I am a member of the Joint Committee on Health, where we talk a lot about the inspection side of things in the context of oversight, performance indicators and outcomes. Who would do that? Perhaps that is not fair. What kind of a body could the witnesses imagine undertaking that piece of work?
- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: Could Dr. Kelly give me an idea of the breadth and level of that service? Would it include all the third-party and NGO services?

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)
Neasa Hourigan: I have a question about data which struck me when talking about the prisons. I was reading something about it. Do we have the data about how many persons are eligible for OST or who would be appropriate for OST? Not somebody who has tried a drug once, but somebody who would benefit from OST. How many are actually in treatment? One statistic I read stated 35% of people who should be in...

Neasa Hourigan: Yes, of course. To be honest, my question was not just what the number is but whether we are recording the data. When I ask a question about health, I am often told it is not recorded. As a result, I was wondering whether we have a sense of the data.
