Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion
Ms Sylvia Chambers:
Never. The parent is never removed from the hospital because one parent is allowed to be there. We may ask the parent to swap with the other parent. In that situation, parents always refuse. They are elated, they are trying to get their point across and they refuse to leave. They say that no one else is available to come in to sit with their child. That parent is left there and continues to repeat the behaviour.
