Amharc ar fhreagraThe Irish National Dementia Strategy was launched in December 2014. This delivers on a commitment in the Programme for Government to develop a national Alzheimer's and other dementias strategy to increase awareness, ensure early diagnosis and intervention and develop enhanced community based services.
The Department of Health and the HSE have agreed a joint initiative with the Atlantic Philanthropies to implement significant elements of the Strategy over the period 2014-2017. This National Dementia Strategy Implementation Programme will represent a combined investment of €27.5m, with Atlantic Philanthropies contributing €12m, and the HSE contributing €15.5m.
This programme will promote a greater focus on timely diagnosis of dementia and on the value of early intervention, along with the long-term objective of making people in Ireland generally more aware and understanding of the needs of people with dementia, and of the contribution that those with dementia continue to make to our society.
Key elements of the initiative include:
- the roll-out of a programme of Intensive Home Supports and Home-care Packages for people with dementia;
- the provision of additional dementia-specific resources for GPs, who are the critical and initial point of contact with the health system for those with dementia. The resource material will include training materials and guidance on local services and contact points etc.;
- Measures to raise public awareness, address stigma and promote the inclusion and involvement in society of those with dementia.
A Monitoring Group, chaired by the Department of Health, has been established to assist with and advise on implementation of the National Dementia Strategy, including the National Dementia Strategy Implementation Programme. This Group includes health professionals, administrators, researchers and advocates. The Group also includes a person living with dementia and a representative of those who care for people with dementia. The most recent meeting of this Monitoring Group was held on 24 September 2015.

297. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Health the position regarding an application for a Primary Medical Certificate by a person (details supplied) in County Meath; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35544/15]

His application to the Health Service Executive and appeal to the Disabled Drivers Medical Board of Appeal were refused in accordance with the scheme's medical criteria. As the Office of the Ombudsman points out, the criteria from the scheme is a matter for the Minister for Finance.
298. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Health the number of persons, in tabular form, by public and voluntary hospital, who are currently waiting up to six; from six plus to 12; from 12 plus to 18; from 18 plus months for a coronary artery bypass graft; the same details for the same period in 2013; and 2014. [35565/15]

Amharc ar fhreagra300. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Health his Department's current estimate of the full-year cost of providing free General Practitioner Care for the whole population. [35571/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 299 and 300 together.
In the absence of specific details of the scope and content of the GP service, the relevant fee structure or the eligibility rates, it would not be possible to produce a current estimate in respect of these population cohorts at this point in time.
301. Deputy Derek Nolan asked the Minister for Health the date of delivery for a primary care centre for a town (details supplied) in County Galway; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35578/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraThis primary care centre project is one of 14 to be delivered as a single PPP project.
Following a detailed tender evaluation process the National Development Finance Agency announced the Prime-Balfour Beatty consortium as the preferred tenderer in May 2015. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2016 and it is expected that the primary care centres will be delivered by early 2017. In the meantime work is continuing on the financial and legal provisions of the project contract.
302. Deputy Noel Harrington asked the Minister for Health when he expects the National Ambulance Service to be able to use the Eircode location system in its ambulances and emergency vehicles to identify individual addresses when responding to emergency calls; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

303. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Health when a person (details supplied) in County Cork will receive a hospital appointment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35588/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the Health Act 2004, the Health Service Executive (HSE) is required to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. Section 6 of the HSE Governance Act 2013 bars the Minister for Health from directing the HSE to provide a treatment or a personal service to any individual or to confer eligibility on any individual.
The scheduling of appointments for patients is a matter for the hospital to which the patient has been referred. Should a patient's general practitioner consider that the patient's condition warrants an earlier appointment, he or she should take the matter up with the consultant and the hospital involved. In relation to the specific case raised, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and my officials will follow the matter up.

308. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Health if he will review eligibility for a medical card for a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35613/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Health Service Executive has been asked to examine this matter and to reply to the Deputy as soon as possible. The Health Service Executive operates the General Medical Services scheme, which includes medical cards and GP visit cards, under the Health Act 1970, as amended. It has established a dedicated contact service for members of the Oireachtas specifically for queries relating to medical cards and GP visit cards, which the Deputy may wish to use for an earlier response. Contact information has issued to Oireachtas members. If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, please contact my Private Office who will follow up the matter with them.
309. Deputy Seamus Kirk asked the Minister for Health the amount of spend on capital health infrastructure from 2000 to 2010, by county, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35619/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraPrior to the establishment of the HSE block capital grants were paid to the Eastern Regional Health Authority (ERHA) from its establishment and to the Health Boards for distribution as authorised on the health facilities in their areas. These grants were not allocated on a county basis. Data on expenditure is collated on the basis of facility not county. Therefore, the information as requested is not available for the period 2000 to 2004. Very high level data is available as shown in the following document. It shows the total capital allocated over a number of years to complete developments. An extensive search of archived files would be necessary to extract the data in the requested format and this exercise would require considerable staff resources.

The HSE will be requested to provide information on expenditure capital infrastructure for the period 2005 to 2010 inclusive and to reply directly to you. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office who will follow up.
310. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Health when funds will be provided to enable a person (details supplied) in Dublin 24 to undergo an operation in Saint James' Hospital in Dublin 8. [35630/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the Health Act 2004, the Health Service Executive (HSE) is required to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. Section 6 of the HSE Governance Act 2013 bars the Minister for Health from directing the HSE to provide a treatment or a personal service to any individual or to confer eligibility on any individual.
The National Waiting List Management Policy, A standardised approach to managing scheduled care treatment for in-patient, day case and planned procedures, January 2014, has been developed to ensure that all administrative, managerial and clinical staff follow an agreed national minimum standard for the management and administration of waiting lists for scheduled care. This policy, which has been adopted by the Health Service Executive, sets out the processes that hospitals are to implement to manage waiting lists.
In relation to the particular query raised, as this is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and my officials will follow the matter up.
