Healthcare in Our Communities Public Meeting

Posted on News/Blog by Jack Chambers · October 26, 2015 3:08 PM

I was delighted to host a public meeting on healthcare in our community in the last number of weeks which was well attended by people from across Dublin west. Healthcare is a passion of mine and healthcare in our community is a key facet of public policy that needs attention, focus and real delivery.
Fianna Fáil believes in a strong public health system with quality services as close to the people as is possible. Healthcare for many is a distant hope where a hospital appointment or a procedure is a worrying waiting game. This is not a sustainable way to run a health service.

Burglary Unit Must be Reinstated in Dublin

Chambers condemns axing of garda unit to tackle burglaries
No excuse for cutting specialist resources as Dublin burglaries continue to rise


Dublin West Councillor Jack Chambers has condemned the decision to disband the specialist garda unit set up to tackle the surge in burglaries in Dublin.

It’s emerged that the intelligence-led unit has been shut down outright amid health and safety concerns, caused by a lack of resources.

Cllr Chambers has described it as an ‘extremely worrying development’ at a time when burglaries in Dublin are on the increase. 

“We need to hear from the Minister for Justice Frances Fitzgerald right now.  It is completely unacceptable that any garda resources would be taken away from the fight against burglaries at a time when burglaries in Dublin’s suburbs are on the increase,” said Cllr Chambers.

The hospice has been developed at the initiative of brilliant people in our community who have shown phenomenal community activism.

Chambers tells FF Ard Fheis about need for maternity services at Connolly Hospital

Posted on News/Blog by Jack Chambers · May 02, 2015 4:02 PM

 

 

 

Stand-alone maternity hospitals, like we have in our capital are not the norm internationally.

 

And it is broadly agreed that for the best outcomes for mothers, maternity services should be co-located along with acute adult services.

 

Just last year the Master of the Rotunda pointed out that it is unacceptable that the hospital had to transfer 10 of its sickest patients by ambulance to high dependency units.

Alarming surge in hospital waiting lists shows health system is out of control

Posted on News/Blog by Jack Chambers · March 11, 2015 10:57 AM


The waiting lists for outpatient procedures have spiralled out of control, with the numbers waiting for outpatient procedures for more than a year increasing eight fold in Connolly Hospital, the Mater and St James since last year, according to new figures from the HSE.

Of the acute hospitals Beaumont has seen the most alarming increase, with 2,758 patients now waiting for more than a year for their procedure. That’s up by 2,664 patients since this time last year and up by 232 between January and February of this year alone.


The Eye and Ear Hospital is under severe pressure with 3,199 patients who are now waiting for over a year for their procedure. That’s an increase of 2,945 since February last year when there were 254 patients waiting for over a year.

Many of the acute Dublin hospitals have also seen a doubling of inpatient waiting times.

Cllr Jack Chambers has said it shows the health system is out of control.
