- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (25 Jun 2019)
Kate O'Connell: It is a different business model entirely. I thought the point was that the national broadband plan would cost €1 billion to implement. However, Mr. Storey is saying the cost to the taxpayer would be €1 billion.

Kate O'Connell: The figures coming out today are not for what we asked for in the first place, nor is it the same service level agreement. Not only is it a case of apples and oranges, at this stage it is potatoes and oranges. It is a totally different project.

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Kate O'Connell: I wish to follow up on Deputy Burke's line of questioning. If a woman attending an obstetrician in public hospital is in mid-examination and there is a crisis in a theatre, the obstetrician will run out the door. I have been in that position a number of times. I imagine while they are running out the door and getting to the theatre to save somebody's life it is very difficult to quantify...

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Kate O'Connell: Give or take, it is around that. As the witnesses will know I am also a member of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health. Why have open disclosure, mediation and the different practices that are supposed to reduce the costs not had an effect on the figures? Has the Department just not done anything yet?

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Kate O'Connell: It appears to be about 50:50 with half the money going on legal fees. Does Mr. Breslin know if it is going up at the same rate?

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Kate O'Connell: Brilliant. I thank the Chairman. What is the annual cost of CervicalCheck? I am talking about the entity that is CervicalCheck from the time it was established to last year. What was the annual spend for that? The witnesses may not have this to hand. I am talking about staffing costs, the running of the building and also the contract costs to the different labs. I do not need to know...

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Kate O'Connell: In particular, what salaries were being paid to people for quality assurance? I want the total costs for CervicalCheck and separately the contract costs, the cheques the Department had to write to pay the bills to the people doing the stuff, from its establishment to now. I would like to have it such that we can track whether there was an increase over time.

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Kate O'Connell: When we hear about primary care centres opening, there is an understanding among the public that if the HSE is opening a new primary care centre that it is its primary care centre. Of the primary care centres we have, how many are being operated under a service level agreement by a private company?
