Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion

Ms Sylvia Chambers:

I am always conscious that we could have a child in resuscitation while I am called out to deal with an aggressive parent. Such parents are stopping me from providing life-saving care. It comes down to that. When I tell parents I am dealing with a really sick child, they tell me I am telling lies and everybody is drinking tea. That is absolutely not is what is happening.
