Committee on Health and Children: Select Sub-Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2014
Vote 39 - Health Service Executive (Supplementary) (9 Dec 2014)

Ciara Conway: We had a meeting with the IMO on this issue. The chairman, Dr. Ray Walley, said at the time that the IMO had not received a communication. I know of instances where GPs have made the various adjustments at their terminals in their practices, but Dr. Walley said categorically that they were unable to do it and that there was a miscommunication. The committee wrote to the HSE seeking further...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: HIQA Review of National Ambulance Service: Health Service Executive (16 Dec 2014)

Ciara Conway: These questions may already have been asked, but to go back over what Deputy McLellan raised, we heard quite clearly from HIQA and from the HSE's own members that they themselves felt they did not have the requisite skills. That is what they told the inspectors. There is obviously a variance between what HIQA is telling us and what Ms McGuinness has told us today. She said they all have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: HIQA Review of National Ambulance Service: Health Service Executive (16 Dec 2014)

Ciara Conway: It is stated that the HSE is in breach of its own policy. Why have a policy if it is going to be breached? The other question I wanted to ask concerns standards. Are there best practice standards? Is there a national policy on pre-hospital care? Who put these standards in place and who oversees them? The witnesses might tell us more about the pre-hospital care council - who they are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: HIQA Review of National Ambulance Service: Health Service Executive (16 Dec 2014)

Ciara Conway: HIQA's report states - Ms McGuinness states the HSE has already acted on this - that certain people indicated that they do not possess the appropriate skills in respect of the duties they currently perform and that they have not been given job descriptions. Ms McGuinness provided an undertaking to review the position in this regard. There appears to be a stand-off between the HSE and HIQA....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Áras Attracta: HSE (16 Dec 2014)

Ciara Conway: I thank Mr. O'Brien for his opening remarks. Here we are again on foot of a "Prime Time" investigation programme. Nobody who watched the programme the other night did not draw parallels between what we saw carried out in Áras Attracta and what we saw in the child care setting. The similarity is that those in receipt of the service are non-verbal, exposed to danger and vulnerable. We...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Áras Attracta: HSE (16 Dec 2014)

Ciara Conway: How is the HSE as a service provider and funder of other organisations going to ensure that there is a quality relationship? We have seen now that all the HIQA reports in the world will not make a blind bit of difference for the residents. It is alarming for parents and relatives not just in respect of bungalow 3, but across the country. It is alarming for parents of children who have to...

Ciara Conway: Apologies for the delay. We had some in-house business to conduct that always takes a little longer than envisaged.

Before commencing I remind witnesses of the...
