- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Spinal Surgery Issues at Children's University Hospital Temple Street: Children's Health Ireland (28 Sep 2023)
Róisín Shortall: Okay. A short while ago Dr. Goldman said that, following that review, he sent out directions to staff. He also said "we have a tighter governance process now." That is what he said. The implication of that is that there was a looser governance process prior to the external review. Would Dr. Goldman accept that?

Róisín Shortall: There were 50 recommendations in the external review. Reading between the lines, they were pretty damning in terms of governance and management. Dr. Goldman now says he is moving to get tighter governance. The implication of that is that there was looser governance, that goes without saying.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Spinal Surgery Issues at Children's University Hospital Temple Street: Children's Health Ireland (28 Sep 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Sláintecare Reforms (27 Sep 2023)
Róisín Shortall: I welcome the witnesses and thank them for their presentations. On the last topic, all of that has been in the public domain for quite some time. It is a bit ironic to hear the Secretary General saying we accept that there are problems with the system for agreeing budgets and that they need to change. The system is largely a result of the attitude of and approach taken by the Department of...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Sláintecare Reforms (27 Sep 2023)

There is much talk about recruitment, existing...
