Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Medical Council Specialist Register: Discussion

9:00 am

Ms Rosarii Mannion:

Yes, the group that have oversight in respect of the 127 that are not on the specialist register. I am advised that they are absolutely competent. I clearly do not have performance management responsibility for clinical staff, but I have had no reports of incompetence in respect of those 127. On the question of who is liable if there is an adverse incident, it is the organisation that is liable.
