Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015: Report Stage (26 Sep 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I acknowledge the presence in the Gallery of Senator Frances Black. We all know she has done fantastic work on this issue. The point has been made that we are all aware of the damage alcohol causes, yet in the same breath people say they do not really want to take the measures necessary to do something about it. It is a little shocking to me that people need to be reminded but this Bill...

Louise O'Reilly: I have one question. I welcome the witnesses, some of whom I know very well. I will have to leave early as the Topical Issue matter I have submitted will be taken in the Dáil. Are the witnesses aware that the INMO has recommended to its members just now that the commission report be rejected? The witnesses may not have heard because they have been at this meeting. The Minister...

General Scheme of the Patient Safety Bill 2018: Department of Health (26 Sep 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: Four agencies are mentioned in head 9. Those agencies are the ones which will be in receipt of the reportable incident. Will we have a very tight definition of what constitutes a reportable incident? With regard to who has ownership of the information, there is potential for two or possibly three of those agencies to be holding information at the same time. Who has ultimate responsibility...

Louise O'Reilly: -----will be provided? With regard to the publication of the clinical audit results, is it intended to publish the reasons the audit was undertaken in the first place?

Louise O'Reilly: The powers to monitor are important, but the powers to enforce are even more so. While the monitoring is welcome, without the powers to enforce the Bill will probably not have the desired effect. Sin é.

General Scheme of the Patient Safety Bill 2018: Department of Health (26 Sep 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: My question was more about the fact that four agencies could potentially all have the same piece of information. Is there going to be a link-up between them? The last thing we want is for four agencies which all have the same piece of information to be looking at the other agencies and thinking that it is the other agencies' job to deal with it rather than their own. Where the information...

I commend the work on the project...
