- Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Health Service Reform: Private Hospitals Association (18 Jan 2017)
Louise O'Reilly: Perhaps Mr. Nugent could enlighten us as to the number of directly employed staff.
- Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Health Service Reform: Private Hospitals Association (18 Jan 2017)
Louise O'Reilly: Can Mr. Fitzgerald give us a view on the reasons? I understand that he may not know, but he has experience in the public and private systems. He knows people who maintain they can do so much more in one than another. I have my views on the reasons, by the way. Does Mr. Fitzgerald have a view on why that is the case?
- Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Health Service Reform: Private Hospitals Association (18 Jan 2017)
Louise O'Reilly: There is no difference in the actual practice. It is not in any way, shape or form more or less efficient. It is simply a question of the availability of beds.
- Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare: Health Service Reform: Private Hospitals Association (18 Jan 2017)
Louise O'Reilly: The point I am making is that it is no more efficient; it is simply to do with the person.

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Chairman for giving me the opportunity to come in again. Mr. Fitzgerald has said there are no unions in his workplace. I would be interested in finding out whether that is a policy or whether it is simply because they are there. My next question is for Mr. Nugent. We have discussed at length the differences between the public and the private sectors and we all acknowledge...

To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will provide a breakdown of all operational Garda stations in the State, inclusive of address and contact number, in tabular form; if this information is readily available; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Maternity Strategy: Discussion (19 Jan 2017)
Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses for their attendance and their comprehensive presentations. I have a number of questions. The first is for Ms Leahy. She mentioned community midwifery services in her presentation. I am specifically interested in knowing how geared up are the primary care centres at present. I suspect I know the answer to this question but will ask it anyway. How geared up are they...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Maternity Strategy: Discussion (19 Jan 2017)
Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses for their attendance. We have been given a comprehensive overview of the reality as it is experienced by those working in the maternity services. There are probably people present who could give the perspective of those who have availed of the maternity services. The only conclusion I can draw from this is that the HSE is not in any way, shape or form serious about...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Maternity Strategy: Discussion (19 Jan 2017)
Louise O'Reilly: I appreciate that it will be included, but why was it left out? Would it not have been better to include it in the first place?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Maternity Strategy: Discussion (19 Jan 2017)
Louise O'Reilly: Mr. Woods was asked very specific questions about recruitment and retention. I have said many times that there are too many chiefs and not enough Indians. We have heard about the comprehensive plan for the recruitment of chiefs, which is to be welcomed, but what about the Indians? Not only can the HSE not recruit them, it cannot keep them. Does it have a plan? Does it have a target, as I...

Louise O'Reilly: I understand the total is down by 350. The figures do not add up.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Maternity Strategy: Discussion (19 Jan 2017)
Louise O'Reilly: We are talking specifically about midwives.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Maternity Strategy: Discussion (19 Jan 2017)
Louise O'Reilly: Therefore, when the INMO states the number is down by 350, it is wrong. It is not usually wrong.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Maternity Strategy: Discussion (19 Jan 2017)
Louise O'Reilly: Ms Fitzgerald has said she will provide the figures. The recruitment of 88 midwives is a good news story and I appreciate that she wants to keep telling us about it. If the HSE is running to stand still, it is doing well because I think the numbers leaving, for various reasons, are not being matched by the numbers being recruited.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Maternity Strategy: Discussion (19 Jan 2017)
Louise O'Reilly: Will Ms Fitzgerald let us have the actual figures? I am not referring to the 88 who have been recruited because we have heard about them.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Maternity Strategy: Discussion (19 Jan 2017)
Louise O'Reilly: How close is the number to the ratio?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Maternity Strategy: Discussion (19 Jan 2017)
Louise O'Reilly: We have six and ten.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Maternity Strategy: Discussion (19 Jan 2017)
Louise O'Reilly: I have to leave but before I do, Mr. Woods might confirm that that meeting will be arranged as I took another call from a very distressed women this morning.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Maternity Strategy: Discussion (19 Jan 2017)
Louise O'Reilly: Yes. I will provide those but I hope Mr. Woods will still be here when I return.
