- Seanad: UL Hospitals Group: Motion (1 Feb 2023)
Martin Conway: As the Minister is about to leave, I acknowledge and thank him. We are delighted to hear the protocols will be extended to both St. John's and Nenagh hospitals because that was one of the significant requests in our motion. We now know that element of the motion will be actioned. That is fresh news. The healthcare community in the mid-west will welcome it this evening. On my behalf and...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Cancer Treatment Services: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)
Martin Conway: I thank Ms Power. Unfortunately, she paints a very bleak picture and it is unfortunate. Some of the statistics Ms Power quoted, resulting, I suppose, from the pandemic and other issues, are quite worrying. Has the Irish Cancer Society quantified how many people have lost their lives as a result of not getting the treatment they needed during the Covid-19 pandemic? Did the numbers of those...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Cancer Treatment Services: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)
Martin Conway: Do other countries have a better reporting system than we do? Should we have better statistics in terms of what stage people are at when they present? Is there best practice internationally we should be learning from?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Cancer Treatment Services: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)
Martin Conway: Does Ms Power feel, or do the figures in the statistics the Irish Cancer Society has, show that people do not have the same confidence in screening as a result of the controversies with CervicalCheck and so on? How are we performing in terms of screening programmes and the participation in them now?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Cancer Treatment Services: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)
Martin Conway: I thank Ms. Morrogh. How is the witnesses' organisation in terms of funding? Is it well funded, is funding down as a result of the pandemic, or has it recovered? How is the organisation doing funding-wise?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Cancer Treatment Services: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Feb 2023)
Martin Conway: I was a student in University College Dublin when Niamh Bhreathnach was the then Minister for Education. I remember there was a blind student who could not get her books in braille and Niamh Bhreathnach landed out to the college unannounced and, needless to say, the problem was resolved. The woman was a doer. May she rest in peace. I rise today because it has been brought to my attention...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)
Martin Conway: I am conscious of time. My final comment relates to what was proposed by Deputy Burke. The joint policing authorities in the local authorities were to create an engagement between the police, local authorities and communities in order that there would be more community involvement in and understanding of policing. That model would not necessarily work in this because one is talking about...

In 2021, there were more than 4,500 attacks on staff on the front line of the health service. Of those, almost 500 were...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)
Martin Conway: I thank our guests. The discussion has shone a light on an appalling issue. I propose that we hold another public meeting on this issue and invite in representatives of the HSA, the HSE and An Garda Síochána. I have no doubt the HSA will say this is a resources issue and that is probably correct, but it is given a budget and it is supposed to prioritise where that budget is most...
