Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Workforce Planning in the Health Sector: Discussion

Mr. William Prasifka:

Yes. What I am saying is that when one has such a small number of complaints, I do not think one can draw many conclusions between complaints to the Medical Council and adverse events. Let us remember that a complaint to the Medical Council focuses on the fitness to practise of a doctor. There is no compensatory scheme. It is not a scheme of redress, so it does not give the same insight into total adverse events that other types of complaints regime would have. That is all I am saying.
