Select Committee on Health: Health Service Executive (Governance) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (20 Feb 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I refer to amendment No. 18 and proposed subsection (b)(ii)(III), which inserts the words "delivery of health and personal social services in accordance with this Act". I am open to correction but that strikes me as something of a shift in responsibility. It seems to shift a great deal of responsibility from the shoulders of the Minister and onto the CEO or director general. I am concerned...

Select Committee on Health: Health Service Executive (Governance) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (20 Feb 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: If I could go back to amendment No. 18, I am not trying to be awkward but it seems to be in conflict with the stated aim of Sláintecare. The amendment refers to ensuring "appropriate systems, procedures and practices are in place" for the "internal performance management and accountability of the Executive". This appears to shift some responsibility from the Minister, where it should...

Select Committee on Health: Health Service Executive (Governance) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (20 Feb 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I do not mean to be in anyway disrespectful to the Minister of State but I dearly wish that the Minister was here because he appointed the board. No one in this room has concern about a member of the board but we are concerned about the mix and range of competencies and so on.

Select Committee on Health: Health Service Executive (Governance) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (20 Feb 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: It is important to say that. Amendment No. 6 provides for a nomination from the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, ICTU, which is a broad representative group, while the HSE is the largest employer of the State. It will be no surprise that I propose this given my background. Deputy Donnelly's amendment and mine, taken together, are not intended to comment on the board - I do not want to put...

Select Committee on Health: Health Service Executive (Governance) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (20 Feb 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: Given that the Minister is not present, it does not matter. We can make all the persuasive arguments in the world. We could persuade the Minister of State but she is not in a position to accept our amendments. The Minister is. It is important that we put on the record our views, that we push our amendments and that that process takes place but to a certain extent, it does not matter how...

Select Committee on Health: Health Service Executive (Governance) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (20 Feb 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I move amendment No. 6: In page 7, between lines 27 and 28, to insert the following: “(3) One member will be nominated by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU), and shall be appointed by the Minister so long as they have sufficient experience and expertise relating to matters connected with the functions of the Executive to enable them to make a substantial...

Select Committee on Health: Health Service Executive (Governance) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (20 Feb 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: That is most unfortunate because there is an opportunity the committee, and for other committees, to have some engagement with all of the members of the boards. Recent events have proven such engagement could have some value. Sin é. We have already discussed the fact that the Minister of State is not in a position to accept any amendments so I could make the most persuasive argument...
