Select Committee on Health: Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (20 Jun 2018)

Kate O'Connell: I echo what Deputy O'Reilly said. It is very important that we as a committee are very clear on the link between cancer and alcohol, and that any labelling is not just tokenism but is very stark, clear, unambiguous and fit for purpose, and that the information is clear to people looking at bottles rather than just box ticking. I support Deputy O'Reilly's comments on the link between alcohol...

Select Committee on Health: Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (20 Jun 2018)

Kate O'Connell: I wish to make a couple of points. The provision relates to one third of the printed material.

We should be conscious of that and ensure that "one third of labelling" means "one third of visible labelling" rather than...

Kate O'Connell: We seem to follow the guidelines in every aspect of medicine but there is no correlation between 90 minutes and 47 hours. I would be interested to hear how the HSE can square the circle. Do the witnesses agree that the time spent waiting for assessment, diagnosis and subsequent treatment is time that people will never get back? The child is developing and it is a golden window of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: New Standard Operating Procedure for Assessment of Need under the Disability Act 2005: Discussion (27 Jun 2018)

Kate O'Connell: There were other witnesses here earlier who mentioned this two to three-year delay. There is a 90-minute assessment versus the 47-hour recommended under the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, NICE, guidelines. I understand that could be classed as a pre-assessment.
