- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: That is great. I will return to the more formal document. What would be the standardised schedule for the completion of a document? Is it monthly?

Neasa Hourigan: There is ongoing assessment.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: I totally take those points about best practice and continuous assessment. Is there a Department requirement for hospital groups to provide a risk assessment on a weekly, monthly or six-monthly basis? What is the requirement?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: It is for the HSE.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: Is the approach of the Department that as systems are upgraded, hospitals move towards the central system or are we allowing them to continuously upgrade a system that runs parallel to, and not with, the central system?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: I accept that, but are we encouraging groups to align with the central system?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: How much of all of that is publicly available?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: We have established they are available. If there is an emergency department or hospital that has an ongoing risk assessment process, is the Department encouraging hospital groups to make some of that information available?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: I am asking about the ongoing work. Our hospitals are experiencing different levels of operation at the moment.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: How much of that is legible to the public?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: I am sorry for interrupting. Is Mr. McCallion saying those documents might, in some senses, be available through the HIQA report or something like that because they are a part of the decision-making process?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: I welcome the Minister and thank him for being here. He mentioned in his opening statement the work undertaken around ambulance services and optimising those. At a committee meeting recently we heard from both the Dublin Fire Brigade and the National Ambulance Service, NAS, itself that they were engaged in a task and finish group and that there were some issues around phone services and...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: I will ask a relatively dumb question. Somewhere in the files, there is a risk register or schedule of risk registers where people report monthly to say a hospital completed an assessment and it has been given to the Department.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges in Hospitals: Minister for Health (26 Apr 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: How much of that is reflected in hard-copy notes and is conducted through meetings, and how much of it is technology based?
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Services (25 Apr 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: I have one very clear and concise request for the Department tonight. It is that every maternity unit in the country publish its risk assessments each month or whenever a new assessment is completed so that people accessing the services can understand why they are still not allowed to receive supports from their partners in some hospitals. During the pandemic, partners were banned from...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Services (25 Apr 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: I thank the Minister of State. I know she fully understands the issue. I am sure she also hears constituents or people around the country raise it every so often. This issue only seems to be raising its head in some maternity units. It does not apply in all hospitals. To be honest, part of the problem may be that it is not a nationwide standard. I fully accept that every unit is...
- Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Consular Services (25 Apr 2023)
Neasa Hourigan: 131. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he has intervened in the case of a person (details supplied) with the Greek government or through any other diplomatic channel, given that criminal charges brought against them and 23 other volunteers and aid workers by the Greek government, have been condemned by several human rights organisations as politically motivated, and carry...
