Colm Burke: -----and is it the same as the other three units in Dublin for a limited time period, or is it unlimited? Mr. Watt might clarify that.

Colm Burke: The other issue that I wanted to raise also relates to maternity units. It is the IT system. My understanding is that four of the 19 maternity units have an IT system up and running whereby it is all computerised. How come it has not been developed in the remaining 15 units and when is that likely to occur?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)

Colm Burke: I thank all the witnesses for their presentations this morning. While they were making those presentations, I received a text from someone who works in a hospital in which a nurse was held on the ground in a headlock and physically choked. She was turning blue when a porter happened to come into the room and helped to get her out of a very difficult situation. What is frightening about...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)

Colm Burke: What if an assault takes place in a hospital and someone is actually hurt? In this case, I am referring to a situation where a nurse was held in a headlock and there was no Garda prosecution. Surely, there is something wrong with the system. In fairness to that person, if she files a statement with the health authority or HSE, is the HSE as the employer not obliged to make sure there is a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)

Colm Burke: Okay, then let us move it on another bit. Every two or three months, we have a joint policing committee meeting between the local authority, the Garda and local public representatives. Is it not now time for the unions together with the HSE and Garda to have joint meetings in a similar way?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)

Colm Burke: It could be taken to a national level. The unions together with the HSE and the Garda authorities need to sit around the table and see what processes can be put in place. Given that we have the same structure with local authorities, which was only set up in the last ten years, why can we not do the same to protect front-line workers in the HSE? Is it not about time we did something like that?
