Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (Resumed) (15 Feb 2023)

Stephen Donnelly: On Committee Stage, I committed to table an amendment on Report Stage to include provision for a review, so I think this amendment is superseded by my amendment committing to a review after the two years. The amending provision I am putting in today introduces the fact the Minister shall initiate a review of the operation of the Act no later than two years from the date of commencement....

Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (Resumed) (15 Feb 2023)

Stephen Donnelly: We discussed this amendment on Committee Stage as well and I acknowledge the intent of it. This amendment has a constructive intent. However, I cannot accept the amendment because the Independent Patient Advocacy Service is not a statutory one. Therefore, we cannot refer to a non-statutory service in statute. However, there are various things we can do and are continuing to do. We need...

However, we have to do it right. Extensive work is going on around new complaints policies including legislative change. There needs to be funding allocation, training and clinical governance pathways put in place. There is an...

Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (Resumed) (15 Feb 2023)

Stephen Donnelly: I accept the good intent in the amendment. I would reiterate that this is not a Bill about complaints; rather, it is a Bill about open disclosure and regulation. I want to be very clear. The open disclosure in the Bill covers clinical instances. The issue in the 2004 Act is not about open disclosure; rather it is about who people complain to. The 2004 Act states that if a patient wants...

Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (Resumed) (15 Feb 2023)

Stephen Donnelly: We would actually be exposing patients to not being able to use the processes that are in place. We all agree that the complaint should still go to a professional body but should also be something that is dealt with by the HSE. It is not within the remit of the Bill to address that. It is something that has to be looked at in a way that works for patients. Simply deleting a specific...
