- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: I again raise the issue of a debate on national aviation policy. I have asked five or six times at this stage for the Minister for Transport, Deputy Ryan, or the Minister of State, Deputy Lawless, to come into the House. In light of comments the Minister of State, Deputy Lawless, made in the Dáil Chamber last week, I would like it scheduled for the week we return after the mid-term...

John Cummins: Senator Kyne sends his apologies. I want to take up the point about data. Data is being collected. What is the data that is not being collected compared to our European peers? I am from Waterford and I have seen data on primary percutaneous coronary intervention, PPCI, numbers for University Hospital Waterford, UHW; Cork University Hospital, CUH; Beaumont Hospital and St. Vincents...

John Cummins: Is there a reason why the last report I can see – and I appreciate the witnesses are not representing NOCA – is from 2021? Why is it I cannot see the reports from 2022 and 2023?

John Cummins: Presented where?

John Cummins: Right. Is has not been presented anywhere else?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: That would be helpful. This is quite a contentious issue in my own area of the southeast and Waterford in the context of UHW. The 2021 report states that the data that is there regarding STEMI is only related to the time from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., five days per week, and it states that UHW moved to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. five days a week. The second session we are having relates to recruitment....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues and Challenges relating to Cardiology: Irish Cardiac Society (23 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: It does. I see from what happens in the cardiology department and other areas in UHW that the staff team and management are able to achieve numbers that are not being achieved in other hospitals. They have achieved that with fewer staff and less of a budget. That begs the question; if the numbers and presentations are as high and are increasing and the staff complement is considerably...

John Cummins: Ms Dalton mentioned the position across the Border. The next session relates to recruitment and I am interested in the opinions of our witnesses as clinicians on this. If we ignore the embargo and the challenges it has had for a moment, if there was no restriction and no budget, would we be able to fill all the positions that are there in the field of our witnesses? Is there availability...

John Cummins: It is because it is not presenting at regional centres and it is more common that a person presents with those kinds of incidents at a general hospital, as opposed to a model 4 hospital.

John Cummins: I mean no disrespect, but none of us wants to see the witnesses. However, it is good to know that, if we do need to see them, there are more people coming through the pipeline.
