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....

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)

James O'Connor: I wish the Cathaoirleach well in her new role. I mark the fact she is the first female to serve in her position. I also thank Deputy Catherine Murphy for her work recently and throughout the term as Leas-Chathaoirleach. Returning to the capital development side of things, I wish to ask another question. In the context of land relinquished during 2023 – this is a specific question...

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

James O'Connor: It is interesting Mr. Gloster says that because I have one situation I wish to raise with him. I was trying to get a conversation without prejudice between a local GAA club and a facility where the HSE owned the ground but there was that instance where the field was used for GAA purposes. I was wondering about the mechanisms around that.

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

James O'Connor: Mr. Gloster might just check that out with St. Raphael’s because I have requested that previously but I just want to get the ball rolling.

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

James O'Connor: Yes. It is a huge site. There are vast lands with it. I refer to the feasibility study on the ambulance training unit going into the old building in St. Raphael's. It is a beautiful building. It is almost like one of the old buildings you see in Trinity College but it has been left derelict and vacant for some time. It is sealed and contained. It is not as run down as some other...

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

James O'Connor: My ultimate message is that the HSE should please drive on with that. For the first time in 30 years, there is something happening in Youghal because of the State action. The town had lost 4,000 jobs in manufacturing and was utterly abandoned for years.

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

James O'Connor: That is good to hear. The primary care centre is moving along. I also ask about the chronic pain management suites the HSE is working on. Dr. Henry might know a little more about this but it is looking at locating some of them in primary care facilities around the country. I have another question about small injury units and to see what is involved in locating those within the new primary...

James O'Connor: Both.
