Seamus Healy TD - Leader's Questions 25.03.2014 - Overcrowding A&E; South Tipperary General Hospital
Deputy Seamus Healy today challenged An Taoiseach Enda Kenny TD on overcrowding at the Emergency Department at South Tipperary General Hospital during Leaders' Questions, and invited the Taoiseach to visit the hospital himself to see the effect of government cuts first hand. The number of patients forced to await admission on trolleys at South Tipperary General Hospital emergency department is absolutely unacceptable and is reminiscent of third world conditions. These numbers have increased from 750 in 2011 to 3100 in 2013. The hospital budget has been cut by almost 25% or €11 million over the last few years and it has lost over 100 staff. This year 2014, has seen a further €1.7 million cut to the budget. Over the same period activity at the hospital and patient numbers have increased significantly and the hospital is operating at 120% capacity on an on-going daily basis. The hospital has been put under severe pressure; staff are working above and beyond the call of duty and despite their best efforts are struggling to provide a safe service. The on-going situation of overcrowding and trolleys at the emergency department is of particular concern. In an attempt to solve this situation, Deputy Healy has met the hospital authorities twice recently, the regional health service staff and raised the issue with Minister James Reilly TD and the National Health Service Director at the Oireachtas Committee on Health. Today Deputy Healy challenged An Taoiseach Enda Kenny TD on the issue at leader's questions and again will raise the issue with the Minister for Health James Reilly and National Health Service Executive officials at the Oireachtas Health Committee on Thursday. Deputy Healy fully supports the proposal, from South Tipperary General Hospital for the opening of an additional 12 step down beds at Our Ladys Hospital, Cashel. This proposal is seen as key to alleviating pressure on the hospital and particularly the trolley situation at the emergency department. Deputy Healy demanded the opening of additional beds at South Tipperary General Hospital and additional staffing at the emergency department. These are crucial issues for the provision of a safe and quality service to the public.- published: 25 Mar 2014

Seamus Healy TD ~ Bank of Ireland ~ Leaders Questions ~ 07.11.2013
Deputy Healy questions the Tánaiste with regard to Bank of Ireland, Wilber Ross and his associates blatantly ripping off the Irish public. Deputy Healy asks if Bank of Ireland fail the ECB stress tests next year will Wilber Ross and his associates be forced to recapitalise the bank or will the Irish people be forced to do as they have in the past? And finally Deputy Healy asked if the Tánaiste would not agree that the only solution that protects the citizens of this country when recapitalisation is required is nationalisation.- published: 07 Nov 2013

Seamus Healy TD ~ Leaders Questions 19.12.2013
Deputy Healy asks Minister Quinn if he accepts that there is a serious problem with regard to people facing homelessness, and also asks if he accepts that there are thousands of families on low incomes below the minimum living expenses who can not avail of the insolvency process and face the loss of their family homes as a result, and what does he intend to do about this? Deputy Healy also asks Minister Quinn if he accepts that bankruptcy is a solution to these families, as Deputy Healy does not? and also Deputy Healy asks what changes are his government going to make in the insolvency arrangements to ensure that this category of distressed mortgage holder, who can't avail of insolvency, can stay in their homes.- published: 19 Dec 2013

Seamus Martin introduced the item as follows: "During yesterdays leaders questions in the Dáil Seamus Healy Independant TD for South Tipperary accused the Labour Party of betraying James Connolly and Michael Davitt in selling off the homes of over 13,000 Irish families to vulture capitalists, the modern equivalent of rack rent landlords.

Deputy Healy Speaking on the Motion re Ambulance Service. "That Dáil Éireann: acknowledging the: — selfless dedication to their work of the paramedics in our ambulance service; — high quality of care that they provide; and — uniquely pressurised nature of the work they undertake; recognises that: — there is nationwide concern and disquiet about the provision of ambulance services; — this situation can be exacerbated by delays in accident and emergency wards; — in 2013 only one in every three people with life-threatening conditions were responded to within the target time; — delays in ambulance response times far exceed both national and international accepted norms; — large areas of the population right across the country are regularly left without any local ambulance cover; — the Health Service Executive lowered the ambulance response time targets to 80 per cent in 2012 and 70 per cent in 2013; and — the centralisation of control and dispatch has led to concerns about a lack of local knowledge and the impact that can have; notes that: — the Republic of Ireland, with a population of 4.6 million, has an ambulance service that employs less than 1,600 staff and an annual budget of €137.4 million; — Northern Ireland, with a population of 1.7 million, has an ambulance service that employs just fewer than 1200 staff with an annual budget of £62 million (€78 million); and — Scotland, with a population of 5.3 million, has an ambulance service that employs over 4,500 staff with an annual budget of £203.5 million (€258 million); believes that: — while paramedics do their utmost to provide a service to the highest international standards, this is impossible with current budgets; — it is essential that paramedics be properly resourced to carry out their work; and — such resources are not currently forthcoming from the Government; and calls for the ambulance service to be appropriately resourced so as to ensure a safe and efficient service nationwide."- published: 16 Apr 2014

Seamus Healy TD ~ Eirgrid ~ Leaders Questions 12.11.2013
Deputy Healy asks the Tanáiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Eamon Gilmore to "defer the closing date for submissions to Eirgrid", and asked "for the suspension of the project pending the outcome of a comprehensive feasibility study carried out independently into the laying of these lines under ground and under water, in line with best international practice." Deputy Healy also asked that "in view of the fact that Eirgrid can not guarantee that there are no health issues involved, and in view of the fact that there are both National and International Studies that raise very serious and significant doubts and health issues in relation to these over head lines as proposed, will the Government adopt and will the Government institute the precautionary principle, a principle that has already been adopted by the EU and the World Health Organisation, and will the Government ensure that the Eirgrid proposal to erect overhead high voltage power lines is cancelled and that the transmission takes places through shielded lines under ground and under sea in accordance with best international practice."- published: 13 Nov 2013
