Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion

Ms Anne O'Connor:

Dr. Henry can speak more to this.

There are clinical directors. We have been out to each area to check them. Consultants do not work under supervision per sebut there is a governance framework within which they must work. We have been around and checked with executive clinical directors as to how that framework works in each area. The team is satisfied there is a process in place now in every area when there had not been. The process we have started is about developing a much more robust approach to how we bring in consultants in the first place. We know about the concerns and there was reference to courts etc. and we share such concerns.
