- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 38 - Health (Further Revised) (10 Apr 2019) Lisa Chambers: The HSE has attributed two thirds of the increase to that offer. The HSE is saying that. It is not me saying that.
- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 38 - Health (Further Revised) (10 Apr 2019) Lisa Chambers: It is not Opposition politicians. The Department and the HSE are saying that.
- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 38 - Health (Further Revised) (10 Apr 2019) Lisa Chambers: The HSE has not given any positive signals about capacity. We are one year on since the promise was given and the offer made. There is no extra capacity. The Minister made a point about women going to private operators and paying privately. A strong point was made by Deputy Donnelly on the previous occasion. He said that shows there is capacity somewhere if people pay for it. The...
- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 38 - Health (Further Revised) (10 Apr 2019) Lisa Chambers: I wish to clarify one point. MedLab is servicing rural parts of the country. If a woman is living in County Mayo, where I live, she is waiting for eight or nine months. That is far longer than anyone else. It is of particular concern to women living in that region because the laboratory with the biggest backlog is now looking to pull out. We need reassurance from the Minister on how that...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Apr 2019)
Lisa Chambers: I thank the delegates for their attendance. I cannot but feel a lack of confidence. When I listen to language such as they "manage our communications" and are engaging in "dialogue with the market" and that there is "pre-market engagement" and that there is no tendering process under way for HPV testing, there is a disconnect between Mr. McCallion's work and the 80,000 women who are...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Apr 2019)
Lisa Chambers: I hear what Dr. Doherty is saying but her professional opinion was sought by the committee. On the one hand she has said decisions must be evidence-driven and safe but on the other she is suggesting that public pressure is sufficient to justify a decision. All I am saying is I disagree on the point. It is the responsibility of being in Cabinet. It is a privilege to serve in Cabinet but a...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (2 Apr 2019)
Lisa Chambers: This situation has gone beyond serious. The Minister for Health single-handedly caused this backlog and he has failed to get to grips with it. MedLab treats patients and deals with women in rural Ireland, so women in all of the rural constituencies wait much longer than others. The wait to get a smear result has increased from five or six weeks to eight months. Women are being informed...

As my colleague outlined, this represents significant investment in the west of Ireland and County Mayo. There has been a significant outlay of investment. This project was hugely welcomed by the community so we are very disappointed to see that we are at this stage. I understand that a question...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Energy Plant Certification: Commission for the Regulation of Utilities (2 Apr 2019)
Lisa Chambers: It is my understanding that the plan was to continue to dry some fuel and sell into the market. Is Mr. Melvin saying that the CRU made it very clear to Mayo Renewable Limited that it was this fuel that was the issue? Was Mayo Renewable Limited informed all the way through that this was the issue. Is this the only issue? Mr. Melvin is stating that the CRU did inform Mayo Renewable Limited.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Energy Plant Certification: Commission for the Regulation of Utilities (2 Apr 2019)
Lisa Chambers: Is that specified in the directive as being mandatory, or is that Mr. Melvin's interpretation, or where did the five years come from? Was the applicant informed of the five-year deadline all the way through the process? I know I am going to be tight for time so I will ask a final question. Did the commission receive any objections, either before or after the initial granting of the...
