John Lahart: How representative of doctors is the IMO if it does not recommend a contract and then 50% of its members take up that contract? If I was a representative organisation and recommended against a contract, I would be worried that 50% of my members-----

John Lahart: In their opening statement, the witnesses stated the IMO's research carried out over a number of years shows that 94% of doctors reported having experienced some form of depression, anxiety, exhaustion, stress, emotional stress or other mental health condition relating to or made worse by work and 80% of doctors are at risk of burnout. What steps has the IMO taken to address those as a...

John Lahart: What has the IMO done as a representative body to which people are paying a fee for it to represent them? What measures has it implemented? Does it have a responsibility for that? That is a fairer question. Does the IMO believe it has a responsibility to its membership to address those-----

John Lahart: Does the IMO offer any supports as a representative organisation?

John Lahart: What kind of interventions has the IMO made? It struck me that if the IMO were a representative body for pilots, that statistic would be terrifying. If I thought that 94% of pilots were suffering from depression, anxiety, exhaustion, stress, emotional stress or whatever, I would be afraid of flying. That would be a reasonable deduction to make.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Employment of Consultants and Non-consultant Hospital Doctors in Public Hospitals: Irish Medical Organisation (22 May 2024)
John Lahart: What interventions has the IMO recommended? What has been taken up? What interventions are in place that could reassure the public that the professionals who are treating and dealing with them are fit to carry out their professional duties?

John Lahart: Is that an extra clarification?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Employment of Consultants and Non-consultant Hospital Doctors in Public Hospitals: Irish Medical Organisation (22 May 2024)
John Lahart: The difficulty I have is I found the IMO's opening statement and contributions more political than what we are used to here. They were hostile to some degree and lacking in any acknowledgement or balance regarding the increasing numbers of consultant doctors, non-commissioned doctors, nurses and a range of staff in the health service since 2020, for example. We are talking about thousands....

John Lahart: The IMO made generalised comments about politicians. It used that term and it is not the kind of thing I am used to. I might be overly defensive as a Government TD. I normally am not and am pretty objective, but I found it a little jarring. There has been an unprecedented investment in the healthcare system since 2020. I accept the points the IMO made-----

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Neurology and Neurorehabilitation Healthcare Strategies: Discussion (15 May 2024)
John Lahart: I thank the Chair. Briefly, I thank our committee's guests for their presentation and paper. I am a Government backbencher so I will follow up with the Minister on these issues in writing. The witnesses have acknowledged progress. I take the point. There is no point in rehashing stuff. Huntington's disease was not mentioned. I have advocated for people with the disease. While the care...
