Kate O'Connell: To ensure nothing comes out of the committee that is not what I said, or what any of us said, I am not talking about making everybody happy. I never mentioned anything about making people happy. There was a suggestion that some of the recent referendums were based on providing happiness for adults. I fundamentally believe in children being reared in a loving environment, however that...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Home Care Services: Discussion (12 Dec 2018)
Kate O'Connell: What I am hearing is that if the palliative services are involved things move faster. It appears the word "palliative" strikes a chord in the HSE. However, a person who is terminally ill and has a 12 week window does not necessarily tick the palliative box, such that families have to jump through a lot of hoops to get services. As stated, sometimes by the time all of this has been done the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Home Care Services: Discussion (12 Dec 2018)
Kate O'Connell: I apologise for missing some of the meeting. I am concerned about the differential in the wages. Am I right in saying the pay restoration amounts to about a €5,000 to €6,000 difference in a carer working in a HSE hospital and someone working outside of a hospital?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Home Care Services: Discussion (12 Dec 2018)
Kate O'Connell: There is a differential of €5,500 to €6,000 between the same person who started off in the HSE in 2010 or 2011 at a €25,000 salary rate and a person working in the family caring sector, is that correct?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Home Care Services: Discussion (12 Dec 2018)
Kate O'Connell: I assume then that people are leaving the family caring sector and going into the HSE or is there a drag between both sectors because I know that Mr. Dunne spoke about labour shortages? When it comes to the competency versus QQI level 5 that Mr. Dunne mentioned, what do carers have in other countries? Are they doing this HSE style competency or is it a QQI level 5? I refer to under...
