Healthcare

I have experience of working as a senior hospital consultant in Ireland for 23 years. Our health service has been subject to multiple incoherent reforms.

Healthcare has become poorly coordinated with repeated partial reform with massive increase in spending; not producing better outcomes.
Need to devolve resourcing to the regional level; less middle management.
Move less complex care from hospitals to the community; local care where it’s needed.
Promote universal health insurance and move away from public vs private, but preserve choice; develop base state-provided insurance with higher levels of cover for those that can afford it.
Develop an activity-based level of funding for clinical activities; promote bench marked clinical standards and patient-related outcome measures.
Develop patient compensation funds; promote universal digital medical record.
Retain Irish-trained doctors and nurses Dublin weighting and payscale differentials.
Incentivise areas with skills shortages, (children’s mental health and rural GPs)
Promote measures to further reduce alcohol consumption such as limiting alcohol sales to primary purpose sale outlets only.

Social Advocacy

Through my experience as a long standing medical volunteer, Ireland’s contribution to overseas aid and skills transfer can be promoted through the Seanad.

Volunteer medical faculty member, ORBIS (flying eye hospital, Bangladesh, India, Cameroon) and Fiat Lux (Kenya 2025).
International exchange of medical personnel, running skills camps initiated by Irish missionaries and continued by Irish doctors.

Environment

I am a passionate advocate for preservation of our natural environment for biodiversity and health.

Promote nature interaction through outdoor sports like regional trails, Parkruns, triathlons, swimming.
Promote biodiversity conservation through the All Ireland Pollinator Plan, preservation of the native Irish honeybee, and development of schools' environmental awareness programs.
Promote green energy without destruction of fragile ecosystems, e.g., inappropriate Sceirde Rocks Wind Farm, Connemara.
