Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Implcations for Health Sector of United Kingdom's Withdrawal from the EU: Discussion (8 Mar 2017)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses for their attendance and presentations. I was struck by the frequent mention in the opening statement of analysis and what might happen in future. I was in Donegal and Sligo fairly recently and people are very occupied with the implications of Brexit. They fear the Government and the various Departments are not as occupied and from listening to this, I tend to agree...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Implcations for Health Sector of United Kingdom's Withdrawal from the EU: Discussion (8 Mar 2017)

Louise O'Reilly: Excuse me, but I asked a specific question about the actual agreement. I respect the aspirations of the people involved, but has it been Brexit-proofed, given that it was signed after the referendum had taken place? Does the SLA include a section which deals specifically with Brexit? If it does not, that is fair enough, but I would be surprised if does not. If there is, I ask Mr. O'Connor...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Implcations for Health Sector of United Kingdom's Withdrawal from the EU: Discussion (8 Mar 2017)

Louise O'Reilly: What is the basis for Mr. O'Connor's confidence? I would not be confident and certainly would not be confident, given that the SLA does not include a reference to Brexit, perhaps one of the biggest things to happen in the health area in the North.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Implcations for Health Sector of United Kingdom's Withdrawal from the EU: Discussion (8 Mar 2017)

Louise O'Reilly: I think it was signed after the Brexit referendum. I understand the MOU was signed a while ago, but it contains all sorts of information on the development of the service. However, the SLA is specific to service delivery and it would be useful for us to see it. In the future all SLAs with a North-South dimension will need to be Brexit-proofed. That would allow people to say they were...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Implcations for Health Sector of United Kingdom's Withdrawal from the EU: Discussion (8 Mar 2017)

Louise O'Reilly: Let me finish. The answer I have been given is that the Department is speculating. We are discussing the implications of Brexit. The first action that should be taken is an analysis of the extent to which the cross-border directive, which may not survive Brexit, is contributing to the HSE's work. When will Mr. Goodman have data on the extent to which the rest of the NHS is picking up the...
