- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Mairead Farrell: The witnesses can appreciate that there would be a query when there is an increase in the spend. I take Mr. Gloster’s point about the 500 he says will change over from being agency staff. What professions are we talking about?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Mairead Farrell: I welcome more people being able to get jobs in the HSE. I did my leaving certificate in 2008 and most of my friends who studied health went abroad. They are coming back but find it impossible to get full-time permanent jobs. This has a major impact on being able to get a mortgage, move out of the family home, etc. The embargo impacted on them further. Regarding private consultancy...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Mairead Farrell: When the embargo happened, I was contacted not by a lot of people, given that not that many would contact me directly, but by a number of people, in particular young women who had worked in the healthcare profession and hoped to come back. Either they were in Britain and they were trying to come back, or they were living here and not on a full-time contract and were maybe working one or two...

Mairead Farrell: How many would Mr. Gloster say it is? There is a dispute on that.

Mairead Farrell: What would Mr. Gloster say it is with regard to nursing?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Mairead Farrell: I am referring to that specific date and that overnight issue.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Mairead Farrell: The Minister has not been able to respond to it either. We are just hearing this from the unions. That is what they are saying and we are then told there is a dispute about it. If we have a disputed figure-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Mairead Farrell: To be fair, my question is specifically on that because there is a dispute. I would like to get to the bottom of what that figure is. It is a disputed figure, which is fair enough, but we cannot dispute a figure if there is no second alternative figure.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Mairead Farrell: That is not the question. It is a figure that has been disputed. What Mr. Gloster is saying is that he does not have the figure to hand.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Mairead Farrell: It is just not the question I am asking.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Mairead Farrell: That is not the question. If Mr. Gloster does not have the figures to hand, he might provide them. It is a disputed figure. It is something we are trying to get to the bottom of but we cannot get to the bottom of it if only one side is telling us an exact figure. I am conscious of time because other members are offering. I want to ask a question in regard to primary care centres, in...

Mairead Farrell: Go raibh maith agat. It is an issue of great concern to local people to have local health services.

Mairead Farrell: The timeframe is probably more crucial.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Mairead Farrell: That is fine. If the timeframe could be given to us, that would be fantastic. I am aware it is not Ms Broderick's brief and I thank her for trying.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
James O'Connor: I thank the witnesses for attending. There are many different areas that we could focus on. One of the things that really jumps out at me is the climb in expenditure from 2019 to 2023. Obviously, that is taking Covid into account but it seems the expenditure has not dropped back. To give context to my comments, we are looking at the figures coming from south of €20 billion, at...

James O'Connor: I refer to north Cork since this came up so much during the local elections. People cannot get in the door to see GPs in Mitchelstown and Fermoy. This is replicated in other parts of the country. I am not even going near the SouthDoc issue but it is extraordinarily worrying that even when people require a consultation with a doctor in an emergency or a call-out to a home that the service...
