Rose Conway Walsh: -----and he is not connected to the HSE.

Rose Conway Walsh: This is part of the problem; "it is not him it is me or it is the State Claims Agency" and it is bound up-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (9 May 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: It is a problem in terms of transparency. Would the Minister admit now that it was a serious error of judgment last November to follow that advice?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (9 May 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: Who defines if something is a serious incident or not? Yesterday we spoke to the State Claims Agency and it was obvious that Vicky Phelan was just another run-of-the-mill case and there was no need to report it to anybody or to do anything else. Who defines what is a serious incident and at what point?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (9 May 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: If the Government welcomed mandatory reporting why did the Minister still find it necessary to include the amendment? I cannot understand it. It is not just about mandatory reporting of serious incidents; it is about having a culture of mandatory reporting within the system.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (9 May 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: I very much welcome that, but even in that sense it speaks to something of the question of who is in control. I wish to move on because my time is limited. I wish to ask about the redress scheme. Can the Minister explain why a redress scheme cannot be set up with an inquiry? I am concerned that if a redress scheme does not come about until after the inquiry then there will be problems...

Rose Conway Walsh: Will the Minister speak to the question raised by my colleague, Deputy Doherty, yesterday with the State Claims Agency? It relates to the agency taking control such that we do not have a situation whereby we have the women versus the two laboratories. Does the Minister support such a move by the State?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (9 May 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: I believe it is important. Many profit-driven organisations will not be driven by fairness and the ethical stance that would, I hope, be taken by a state agency.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (9 May 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: I have a series of questions and will be brief as I want to hear the answers to them. I submitted a question on the number of legal cases against the HSE regarding misdiagnosis, how many were currently in process and how much compensation had been paid out in the past ten years. I have not been furnished with answers and will await replies from the State Claims Agency. However, I find it...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (9 May 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: When can we expect the transition to personal budgets for people with disabilities? I have numerous other questions. Overall, I note that the answers I am getting from the HSE in reply to the questions I submit are not at all satisfactory. I have another question on GPs charging for blood samples, which is a continuing practice. When will that be addressed? Is it going to be addressed...

Rose Conway Walsh: Mr. Sullivan's post-decision analysis is important.

Rose Conway Walsh: Did the HSE negotiate the price?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: State Claims Agency: Discussion (8 May 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: I thank Mr. Breen for his presentation. I want to return to the Vicky Phelan case and the State Claims Agency's relationship with the HSE. The HSE was the agency's client in that case and in other medical negligence cases.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: State Claims Agency: Discussion (8 May 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: It will contact the agency and have discussions with it on the best approach to this case. Who gives the agency that client briefing from the HSE?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: State Claims Agency: Discussion (8 May 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: That is amazing.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: State Claims Agency: Discussion (8 May 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: Is it the case that there is no level within the HSE that acts as the State Claims Agency's point of contact in terms of medical negligence claims?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: State Claims Agency: Discussion (8 May 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: I am trying to quantify that. Does the director general of the HSE attend those quarterly meetings?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: State Claims Agency: Discussion (8 May 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: Has the witness met with the director general? Do they meet regularly?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: State Claims Agency: Discussion (8 May 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: Is it the case that the State Claims Agency has never met with the director general of the HSE?
