- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Ring: I call Deputy Ó Murchú. Sorry, Deputy Munster is next on the list.

Imelda Munster: The Minister, who has just left the building, is aware-----

Michael Ring: The Deputy does this every week but he will not do it with me.

Rose Conway-Walsh: I had five minutes.
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Ring: I am not talking about Deputy Conway-Walsh; I am talking about the Deputy behind her whose name is down here. He jumps the list every week and he then goes on too long. I call Deputy Munster. He will not do it today.
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Imelda Munster: You are fairly ratty this morning, Acting Chair.

Ruairi Ó Murchú: The Acting Chair did not let me go over time the last time.
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Ring: He will not do it today. I can tell the House that.
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Imelda Munster: Will the Acting Chair stop the clock? I was about to address the Minister but he has left the building. Perhaps he has gone for coffee or something. He cannot be too concerned about the pre-winter crisis in hospitals across the State. I was going to say to him that we are already seeing worrying cutbacks in patient services, even ahead of the winter surge, and Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital...
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Ruairi Ó Murchú: My intention was to go last so as not to take time from anybody. In fairness, Deputy Munster has dealt with a considerable amount of information on Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, including the warnings relating to the emergency department. On Thursday, 10 October, Fórsa, the INMO and SIPTU organised a large demonstration and protest outside the hospital, but that is not what we want to...
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Stephen Donnelly: I misspoke. It is in quarter two.
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Alan Kelly: The Minister has misspoken a couple of times because he referenced it a couple of times. I have researched it. What date will it open? The second thing is that the community nursing home in Nenagh will be handed back to what it should be used for on the same day. The second thing is that medical assessment units, MAUs, are committed to going to 24 hours. When will that happen? The MAU...
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: I thank the Labour Party for tabling this motion and giving us an opportunity to discuss this important issue. In all the discussions on budget 2023 and budget 2024, as the Minister knows, I pointed out robustly that the health service was not getting the funding it needed to stand still, that we were running significant deficits, and that at some point, a cheque would have to be written to...

Stephen Donnelly: There is no link between those two things.
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
David Cullinane: That recruitment embargo was put in place by the head of the HSE. I did not interrupt the Minister. I have my time. The Minister can dispute what I am saying but it is indisputable. The HSE said there was a need to contain costs. He sent communications to the health service that he was putting in place a recruitment embargo with very limited exceptions relating to final-year nurses and...
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Mark Ward: Concerns have been raised with me that vital developmental checks are not being carried out on newborn babies due to a lack of public health nurses. Parents from Clondalkin, Lucan, Newcastle, Rathcoole and Palmerstown have contacted me with these concerns. When a baby is born, developmental checks are carried out at regular intervals from birth and throughout their infancy. A public health...
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Pauline Tully: This day last week, I attended a protest at Cavan General Hospital. That protest was held by workers from across the hospital, including nurses, clerical workers, porters and healthcare assistants. They were represented by three unions, which were Fórsa, SIPTU and the INMO. The demonstration was held as the first step in opposition to the pay and numbers strategy introduced by the HSE...
- Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)
Alan Kelly: I had to grin earlier because, whenever the Minister is in the Chamber, I seem to have to go out to take a phone call about my father's healthcare. The work of the staff in both Limerick and Nenagh, whom I have been dealing with in the past few months again, has been exceptional. I acknowledge Dr. Scott, Dr. Sohail, Dr. Vijay, healthcare assistant Ray, nurse manager Louise, healthcare...
