- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: I thank the witnesses.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in the HSE: Fórsa (23 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: The witnesses are very welcome and I thank them for their opening statement. I ask them to clear up some confusion in this area. Anyone listening to this discussion in recent months will have seen a lot of smoke and mirrors. On the one hand, the Minister for Health has been telling us we have never had it so good with all of this recruitment that we have seen over the last number of years,...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in the HSE: Fórsa (23 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: When the Minister for Health was before the committee last week I put it to him that if he disputed the figures from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, SIPTU, Fórsa or any other organisation on suppressed, lost or decommissioned posts, he should provide the real number and I did not get an answer. Is the lack of an answer because the data is not being captured or does the HSE...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in the HSE: Fórsa (23 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: I accept that. Ms Connolly spoke about a lack of transparency about the data underpinning the pay and numbers strategy and the other healthcare trade unions have made a similar point. She made another important point, which should be noted, that HSE HR was directed to essentially switch off the vacancies on the SAP payroll system. If vacant posts are switched off and gone, is the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in the HSE: Fórsa (23 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: Are these posts that were marked as vacant on the HSE's SAP payroll system?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in the HSE: Fórsa (23 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: They have just vanished.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in the HSE: Fórsa (23 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: Yes. I wish to come back to the concluding remarks in Fórsa's opening statement. Before I do that, another important point was made when it was said that we should not conflate new development posts with core service delivery, the replacement of staff, staff turnover, etc. From what was said, I am assuming that the Minister quite rightly is saying there is recruitment and that the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in the HSE: Fórsa (23 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: Fórsa is asking that the Minister and the Government, or at least the HSE anyway, would negotiate with Fórsa and other healthcare trade unions on the pay and numbers strategy, which makes sense, have a workforce plan, which makes sense as well, and deal with safe staffing levels. Another observation I will make is that it is very odd and bizarre that we train so many healthcare...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in the HSE: Fórsa (23 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: It has more than doubled.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in the HSE: Fórsa (23 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: I will probably only use five minutes of my time, as I have to be in the Chamber in five minutes’ time. How likely is it that this situation could end up in a strike?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in the HSE: Fórsa (23 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: It was said in the opening statement that the HSE has not engaged properly. What would a proper engagement look like?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in the HSE: Fórsa (23 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: On strategic planning and business improvement, am I reading the statement correctly that there is a figure of €79 million for a year?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in the HSE: Fórsa (23 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: What did they spend €79 million on?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in the HSE: Fórsa (23 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: There is no need to name names but in the second paragraph of the statement, it says that private consultancy firms were involved with this business plan. Do we know the composition of these?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in the HSE: Fórsa (23 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: It is an extraordinary amount of money.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in the HSE: Fórsa (23 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: If I am reading this correctly, strategic planning and business improvement is the pay and numbers strategy. Am I reading that correctly?
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Medicinal Products (23 Oct 2024)
Colm Burke: More than 2,000 people participated in overdose awareness and naloxone administration training in 2023. The work is ongoing in relation to having more people trained in its administration. Regarding availability, more than 6,000 units were given out last year, with 4,000 units distributed by July of this year. It is available where we believe there is a need for it. The international...
