Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

David Cullinane: I am taking it from Dr. Murphy's response that would be more insourcing and more public availability in the public service, as opposed to outsourcing. However, the fundamental point is more capacity.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

David Cullinane: I thank Dr. Murphy. Our time is limited and I have one more question to put. An issue that is coming up a lot at this committee when we have witnesses before us is the recruitment embargo that was in place and the still very limited recruitment for 2024. The witnesses' opening statement refers to "... significant workforce issues including an embargo on filling vacant positions since...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: I will comment on some of the issues around the medicines management programme. For my own clarity, are these injections on cholesterol that we are talking about injections that would be undertaken by a clinician or is it something someone does at home?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: Okay. That seems to be more prevalent across a number of treatments in healthcare at the moment. Regarding the medicine management programme, I can only imagine there is a huge amount of innovation in this area. If doctors want to move a treatment off the management programme and make it more freely available, how long is that process?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: Has the engagement been going on for months or years?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: That is not great, given that drug innovation happens. We would like there to be a fairly dynamic response from organisations. I want to go back to the registry's issue. This has come up a number of times in other sectors to do with healthcare and anything that is a long-term condition. In a practical sense, what is the hold-up? What is the problem? Is it that there are different...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: I am sure this will be incredibly useful. Will staff have to undertake training to engage with the system?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: That is all in place already.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: Does the catchment area cover approximately 400,000 people?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: Am I correct that the fact we do not collect enough data is not just a problem for health policy and development but also means that we are not first on the list when it comes to research and development?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: Ireland has a fairly significant pharmaceutical sector so it seems like an obvious one. I imagine that at the EU meeting a lot of it would have been about research and innovation and how we can push forward together across the EU.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: I think we would all like to see more North-South co-operation. I will move now to the issue of waiting lists. We are dealing with significantly different cohorts across multiple waiting lists. Some people have been referred by a GP, for example, and then we have some people who are experiencing a very specific health crisis. We have talked about it being a matter of days in some cases...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
