Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (28 Mar 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: These are the kinds of things the Minister of State should know. If the Minister for Health says he is confident that a certain number of beds are to be opened or that a certain sum of money is to be put aside and the Minister of State then comes in and says he does not know what it will be spent on, it does not inspire a massive amount of confidence. It certainly does not do so in me. It...

Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (28 Mar 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I have a question about the phone number because it is very interesting. The idea is that a person will ring in and will just be directed to the right service. I could probably say something smart about the waiting list but I am not going to. Will that person be qualified or will he or she be more of a telephonist? If somebody rings up and says he or she anxiety, which I think was the...

I commend my colleague, an Teachta Ó...

Government Response to Salisbury Attack: Statements (27 Mar 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I join with others in stating very clearly that the use of chemical weapons cannot and should not ever be tolerated.

Last week we saw the Taoiseach once again announce a shift in Government policy to the media before he came in here to make the same announcement to the Oireachtas....

Genuine Progress Indicators and National Distributional Accounts Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (22 Mar 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I welcome this Bill from Deputy Howlin and Sinn Féin will be supporting it. Ever since the Nobel laureate, Paul Krugman, tweeted about leprechaun economics, the use of GDP as a way of measuring our national accounts has come to close to being a laughing stock. The progress made in coming up with GNI*, a unique way of measuring our unique economy, is welcome but ultimately the EU, for...

Topical Issue Debate: Hospice Services Provision (21 Mar 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Last week the Government managed to set another record: 714 citizens were left on trolleys. I did not think that, even under the stewardship of this Government, it would get that bad. I believed that, as someone who has a fair amount of experience of the health service, I was unshockable but the Government has managed to shock even me. Last Monday, the general secretary of the Irish Nurses...

Louise O'Reilly: I left my crystal ball at home but I did not need it because I could have predicted that the Minister of State would blame the storm, make a nod towards the staff, the patients and the disease profile. There is a real lack of accountability and sense of responsibility for this problem. The Minister of State does not have to take my word for it. The INMO publishes the figures. After seven...

Would this be true of drugs for pain management? In the absence of access to proper physiotherapy, are GPs finding...
