Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: There is a baseline of €1,000.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: It is a baseline of €1,000.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: If a 15-year-old was in a bed for 91 days with acute anorexia in a public hospital with no specialty department, would it raise a red flag for anybody? Would a question be asked either clinically or administratively?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: The last time Mr. Mulvany appeared before the committee I put it to him that there had been a young girl with anorexia in University Hospital Waterford for 30 days. I was incorrect. I am stating on the record that it was actually 91 days. There was no clinical intervention that she should be moved until I got involved, and there was no administrative intervention to ask why she was there....

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: Can Mr. Gloster comment?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: It is concerning, is it not?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: I will come back to the eating disorder but we are talking about roughly €90,000 to €100,000 of money that actually went nowhere.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: Eventually, the young girl was moved to an acute setting.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: Yes, to deal with her disorder. She spent almost nine months there, during which time her father passed away. The tragedy is that when she left that setting she was referred back to CAMHS, which had neglected her in the first place. She is back to the same weight she was when she was admitted to the hospital in the first place. We are failing, and failing miserably. While the girl is...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: I would like to say it is impossible but I sat in the hospital for a day with the patient. When it was discovered who I was, I was asked to leave. Not until then was there an intervention. Not until then did the psychologist come to the hospital and address the situation. Then it all had to happen as an emergency because the girl was in organ failure. This is crisis. For all the good...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: Absolutely.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: No, I am still in the same position when it comes to eating disorders because we have not addressed the situation of either CAMHS units or CDNT units being staffed. We have 817 vacant positions in CDNTs. We are servicing nobody. The situation with CAMHS is almost identical. I will have to come back in later because I am out of time Will Dr. Henry prepare an answer in the interim? CAMHS...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: The question is whether the money is available in the capital infrastructure plan. Has the money been sanctioned for the build?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Verona Murphy: I ask for that in writing.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Catherine Murphy: I wish to pick up on the point my colleague Deputy Verona Murphy made on the CDNTs. This comes up repeatedly. I hear from people who had services when they were being looked after by Enable Ireland but who have no services now because they were switched to a CDNT. The vacancy rate in Kildare south is 16.7%. In Kildare north, it is 35.2%. In mid-Kildare it is 15.3%. Some 250,000 people...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Catherine Murphy: There is just not a service for most people. It is the one area that is very out of control, from what I am hearing. It is repeatedly raised in the most tragic situations. We are talking about emergency situations, where you go with an emergency and are told to come back in 12 months. It is outrageous. I just wanted to highlight that as the kind of thing that really needs attention. ...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Catherine Murphy: We are talking about 8% turnover and possibly 6%.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Catherine Murphy: So the figure for the shortfall in staff is about 14%.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Catherine Murphy: I know that, but it is a recurring 8%. It is not the same people, but it is a recurring 8%.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Catherine Murphy: Is Mr. Gloster telling me that there are different numbers January, March and July? Is it generally 8% for the year?
