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

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...

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

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

James O'Connor: We are 12 months on from Storm Babet, which took place in 2023. Enormous damage was done to Midleton. I was talking about this with the Office of Public Works earlier in the week. Midleton hospital experienced devastating flooding. The Owenacurra Centre there, which has been much-discussed over the current Dáil term, was damaged too. I want to get insight on where the HSE is with...

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

James O'Connor: I would like to get correspondence from the HSE on that this week, if possible, to get a live update on where we are. There is concern locally about the pace of development. It feeds back into a wider issue with any capital development in the HSE, which is the length of time it takes.

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

James O'Connor: I ask for a progression timeline too.

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

Mairead Farrell: I call Deputy Catherine Murphy. The Deputy will have five minutes now on foot of time issues.

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?

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

Catherine Murphy: Mr. Gloster is talking about that being 8% over a year.

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

Catherine Murphy: In the short time I have left, I will focus on one matter. We make recommendations to the HSE when we compile a report. One of those recommendations was that the reports from internal audits be published on the executive's website. Will the HSE be doing that? Does it see the internal audits and the reports from audits relating to the more than 60% of other publicly funded health agencies?

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.
